Bitcoin just crashed to $65,000, wiping out billions in leveraged bets. However, the U.S. Treasury Secretary just confirmed they are moving forward with plans to create a strategic national Bitcoin reserve.

## Idea

Bitcoin just had a harsh crash that forced many over-leveraged traders to sell, dropping the price to a major psychological floor around $60,000 to $65,000. While the panic selling is high, the U.S. government just gave an incredible long-term vote of confidence by announcing progress on creating a national Bitcoin stockpile. This combination of a washed-out price floor and major government validation sets up a classic 'buy the fear' scenario once the price stabilizes.
