U.S. Will Not Be Purchasing Any Bitcoin, Treasury Secretary Bessent Says

The U.S. government just took a hard pass on Bitcoin—but the crypto market barely blinked. Treasury Secretary Bessent’s announcement lands like a shrug in a bull market that’s already priced in institutional hesitancy.

### The ‘No-Coiner’ Policy

While D.C. bureaucrats cling to their spreadsheets, Bitcoin’s decentralized network keeps humming. No Treasury purchase? No problem. The asset’s 15-year track record of surviving government skepticism speaks louder than any press conference.

### Wall Street’s Loss, Main Street’s Gain

Traditional finance’s loss aversion is crypto’s gain. Retail and institutional investors outside government circles continue stacking sats—proving once again that innovation moves faster than federal procurement committees. (Though let’s be honest—if they did buy, they’d probably sell at the bottom like every panicked hedge fund.)

The real story? Bitcoin doesn’t need a Treasury stamp of approval to keep disrupting. The network’s hash rate hits new highs while politicians debate—classic ‘move fast and break things’ versus ‘move slow and break promises.’ Game on.
