Bitcoin crashed to $65,000, wiping out billions of dollars from the market. At the same time, the US Treasury Secretary confirmed the government is moving forward with plans to create a strategic Bitcoin stockpile.

## Idea

Bitcoin just suffered a massive crash that forced many traders to sell their holdings automatically, bringing the price down to a major milestone at $65,000. While the drop is scary, these sudden shakeouts historically clear out over-leveraged traders and set the stage for a rebound. Adding fuel to a potential recovery, the US Treasury just confirmed it is actively working on building a government reserve of Bitcoin. If the price can hold steady around this $65,000 level, the combination of washed-out sellers and massive government buying could spark a sharp bounce back up.
