#以太坊大户持仓变化 Trump's "perpetual holding" pledge has been slapped in the face by reality. The U.S. Department of Justice, ignoring the executive order, directly moved to sell off the seized $6 million worth of BTC.

Remember a few months ago? During his campaign, Trump vowed to include Bitcoin in the national strategic reserve. After taking office, he even signed an executive order publicly claiming that "the government will never sell its BTC holdings," and even announced a plan to hold millions of Bitcoin. The rapid shift in this "crypto president's" stance is astonishing—once criticizing Bitcoin as a "fraud tool," he now embraces the entire crypto community, hosting summits, issuing tokens, and frequently interacting with crypto leaders.

But reality dealt him a harsh blow. The Department of Justice recently bypassed the presidential executive order and liquidated all BTC involved in the Samourai Wallet developer case, totaling over $6 million. This is not just about the amount; it’s a blatant challenge to presidential authority.

$BTC and $ETH market participants are beginning to discuss: on one hand, the president advocates for holding coins, while on the other, the DOJ is busy selling. Who truly has the final say within the U.S. government? What does this policy contradiction mean for future Bitcoin reserve plans? More importantly, how will this uncertainty impact market sentiment—this move warrants ongoing attention.

BTC1,96%

This is the US government putting on a show itself, hoarding coins with the left hand and selling with the right hand. LOL

The Department of Justice's move is truly brilliant, directly slapping down Trump's "permanent holding" dream. With such obvious internal power struggles in the US, how can retail investors play?

The Ministry of Justice's move is really brilliant; the executive order is as flimsy as paper...

The Department of Justice really doesn't give face, directly opposing the President Masked hero, enough already, let's secure our positions first The US government is too chaotic, such swings are just cutting leeks for retail investors How much are Trump's promises worth... we'll see Policy conflicts, in the end, it's us small investors who suffer Another good show, let's continue to watch who between the Department of Justice and the President is more stubborn If this continues, the BTC reserve plan is probably doomed

The Department of Justice's move is truly brilliant. They promised never to sell, right? It's just a power struggle; the winner takes all. They can bypass executive orders, this is American politics. A $6 million investment, the market will shake. Trump's promises are just for listening, don't take them seriously. One hand stacking coins, the other selling off, it's hilarious. The crypto world is never short of these plot twists. Internal government fights, and we, the retail investors, suffer. Now there's a reason for the decline, blame it on uncertainty. By the way, if the Department of Justice dares to do this, there must be someone backing them up.
