The US Treasury Department Meets with Three Crypto Companies to Discuss Bitcoin Reserve Custody Solution

2025.03.14 02:00:21

On March 14th, as per Decrypt's report, insiders disclosed that the U.S. Treasury Department held meetings with executives from three cryptocurrency custody companies this week to discuss ways to safeguard the nation's strategic Bitcoin reserve. Anchorage Digital is one of the institutions participating in the meeting. Nathan McCauley, the CEO of Anchorage, stated that Treasury Department officials made in-depth inquiries about best practices for the national Bitcoin reserve and digital asset custody and discussed how custody impacts stablecoins and market structure. Congressional sources indicated that the Treasury Department is currently in a research stage and has not yet formulated a clear position but is actively seeking input from industry experts. There is currently a preference for government Bitcoin reserves to be held by third-party institutions, with the long-term goal being for the government to eventually achieve self-custody. Regarding various types of seized digital assets controlled by the government, long-term reliance on third-party custody may still be necessary. The U.S. Treasury Department has not made any comments on this.
