Bitcoin just suffered a massive crash, dropping below $62,000 and wiping out $1.5 billion in leveraged bets. However, the U.S. Treasury Secretary simultaneously announced progress on creating a government strategic Bitcoin reserve.

## Idea

Bitcoin has seen a sharp, rapid selloff that forced a huge amount of leveraged traders to sell their positions at a loss, often signaling a short-term bottom. While panic is high, the U.S. government is actively working on a major demand catalyst by building a strategic Bitcoin reserve. Historically, when extreme fear forces weak hands out while long-term fundamentals strengthen, prices tend to bounce back. This sets up a classic contrarian opportunity to buy heavily discounted Bitcoin before the government buying begins.
