Conditions for the Sale of Strategic Bitcoin Reserves
(a) Long-term Preservation Principle. The strategic Bitcoin reserves should serve as a permanent pillar of U.S. financial strength and commitment to the future digital economy, embodying the same spirit with which we defend the Fort Knox gold reserves. Bitcoin stored in the strategic Bitcoin reserves should not be viewed as a short-term financial asset. The aim is to establish the strategic Bitcoin reserves as a leading position for the U.S. in global Bitcoin holdings, innovation, and management—safeguarding American interests rather than those of foreign competitors, and setting standards for the global digital asset strategy.
(b) Strict Liquidity Restrictions. The sale or other forms of recouping strategic Bitcoin reserve funds are only permitted in the most extreme and exceptional national economic or security crises. Such a crisis determination must be approved by the President of the United States. Without this explicit authorization, the Secretary of the Treasury has no authority to sell, mortgage, exchange, or otherwise dispose of any portion of the strategic Bitcoin reserves.
(c) Strict Approval Procedures. Prior to any sale, the Secretary of the Treasury must submit a detailed written decision, accompanied by sufficient evidence demonstrating that the proposed sale directly addresses a specific national economic or security crisis.
(d) Transparent and Controlled Execution. In rare instances, if a sale is approved, it should be conducted in the most fair and strictly controlled manner to minimize market impact and maintain public confidence. Private, staggered trades or other measures should be prioritized to ensure that even in a crisis, the nation's reputation for financial prudence and responsibility is upheld.
