The U.S. Treasury Secretary just announced progress on creating a government strategic Bitcoin reserve, but Bitcoin's price has actually crashed below $62,000 because over-leveraged traders were forced to sell all at once.

## Idea

Bitcoin has taken a sharp dive below $62,000, largely driven by forced liquidations rather than a true change in fundamentals. Meanwhile, a major fundamental catalyst is developing: the U.S. government is actively progressing on a plan to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve. When prices fall hard due to leveraged traders being wiped out, it often creates a temporary 'oversold' discount for long-term buyers. With the government backing the asset class in the background, this severe dip offers a classic 'buy the fear' opportunity as the forced selling exhausts itself and prices revert back toward their recent averages.
