Bitcoin News Today: White House Crypto Report Omits Bitcoin Reserve, Market Reacts

The White House’s newly issued crypto policy report has drawn significant attention for what it omits as much as what it includes. Released in mid-July 2025, the report outlines regulatory and policy recommendations but does not confirm the establishment of a national Bitcoin reserve, a feature that had previously been speculated in media reports [1]. This omission marks a notable departure from earlier expectations and has had ripple effects across the cryptocurrency market, particularly for miners who had anticipated a potential government-driven demand boost [2].

The report does clarify that if such a reserve were to be created, it would fall under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Treasury. It also references a March 2025 executive order that allowed for the creation of a Bitcoin reserve from forfeited assets, though it did not mandate direct Treasury purchases [3]. Analysts from Kanalcoin suggest that future tax-related provisions and government strategies could still influence the crypto market, though the immediate absence of a reserve removes a potential bullish catalyst [3].

The decision not to include a Bitcoin reserve in the report has affected market expectations. With no official government acquisition plan, Bitcoin miners face dampened near-term demand prospects, especially if they had been counting on federal accumulation to support prices. However, the regulatory environment for stablecoins appears more favorable, as the report outlines a more open stance toward their oversight, contrasting with the rejection of central bank digital currencies [2].

The omission also reflects the broader regulatory uncertainty surrounding crypto assets. While the report does not signal a shift in the administration’s overall digital asset strategy—evidenced by recent discussions around an executive order to prevent political “debanking”—it does highlight a cautious approach to Bitcoin as a reserve asset. This aligns with international trends, such as the Swiss National Bank’s recent rejection of Bitcoin for similar reasons, including volatility concerns [3].

The report contributes to an evolving regulatory landscape that seeks to balance innovation with stability. It follows recent actions by the SEC, including the allowance of certain stablecoins to be treated as cash equivalents under specific conditions, a move that supports broader financial clarity [4]. These steps indicate a regulatory framework aimed at promoting responsible development in the crypto space, though the absence of a Bitcoin reserve means the market must continue to navigate uncertainty.
