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.

Swedish Tax Agency recovers approximately $56.5 million in unpaid taxes from 6 crypto mining firms.

The Swedish Tax Agency is collecting approximately 540 million Swedish kronor (around $56.5 million) in back taxes and penalties from six cryptocurrency mining companies based in Boden, a northern Swedish city. An investigation found the firms used complex corporate structures to conceal their actual crypto mining operations, in order to access tax breaks originally reserved for general data processing centers. Patrik Lillqvist, head of the tax agency’s intelligence division, stated that the firms employed special arrangements to hide their mining activities to secure tax benefits they were not eligible for. The action is part of the agency’s industry audit running from 2024 to 2026; nationwide, nine crypto firms are being pursued for over $50 million in unpaid taxes and penalties, with the six Boden-based companies making up the vast majority. Some of the involved firms have filed appeals, but the Swedish Administrative Court and Court of Appeal have previously upheld the tax authority’s determinations. Notably, Bikupan Datacenter has entered financial restructuring due to its inability to meet tax obligations, and is now appealing the case to the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court.
