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.

Lebanese Official: Ceasefire Agreement in Lebanon to be Declared "Soon," Duration May Be Linked to US-Iran Truce

April 16 — Per the Financial Times, Lebanese officials have disclosed that amid U.S. pressure to de-escalate Middle East tensions, a ceasefire deal between Israel and Lebanon to end over six weeks of hostilities is expected to be announced “soon.” Sources with knowledge of the situation said the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah could take effect “this week” — most likely after Israeli ground forces finish seizing the key southern Lebanese town of Bent Jbeil. The Lebanon conflict has emerged as a focal point in broader efforts to end the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, which broke out on February 28. Lebanese officials noted that once the ceasefire is announced, its length will likely be tied to that of the U.S.-Iran ceasefire deal. One Lebanese official said the ceasefire will cover a halt to Israeli attacks but will not mandate an Israeli withdrawal. Other officials noted the ceasefire efforts are being led by the U.S.

Fed Beige Book: Escalation of War Heightens Uncertainty, US Businesses Take Wait-and-See Approach

April 16 — The Federal Reserve said Wednesday in its Beige Book report that U.S. economic activity across most regions continued growing at a moderate to modest pace, even as the Iran conflict triggered fresh uncertainty and rising energy costs. While overall price increases remained moderate, energy and fuel costs rose “significantly” across all 12 Fed districts, the report noted. The central bank added that the Middle East conflict is viewed as a major source of uncertainty, complicating businesses’ decisions on hiring, pricing and capital investment — with many taking a wait-and-see approach. Compiled by the New York Fed and reflecting data through April 6, the Beige Book offers an initial look at the conflict’s impact on the U.S. economy. The conflict-driven oil price shock has lifted gasoline prices, marking the country’s largest inflation spike since 2022.
