According to Cointelegraph, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the government has no plans to increase its Bitcoin reserves, causing Bitcoin to drop below the psychological support level of $120,000, currently reported at $118,730.Bessent confirmed in an interview with Fox Business that the government will not purchase Bitcoin again, but will instead utilize seized assets to increase reserves.
