The U.S. Treasury announced it is moving forward with plans to create a strategic government stockpile of Bitcoin, just as Bitcoin prices crashed to $65,000.

## Idea

Bitcoin just experienced a massive crash that wiped out leveraged traders, which often creates a short-term bottom. At the exact same time, the U.S. government just confirmed it is actively working on a plan to buy and hold Bitcoin as a national reserve asset. If the government starts buying enormous amounts of Bitcoin, it could drive the price up dramatically from these depressed levels. This creates a classic 'buy the fear' setup backed by a massive upcoming government catalyst.
