According to the source, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis urged Congress to prioritize passing digital asset market structure legislation and to codify treatment of seized Bitcoin to build a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve following the reported seizure of 127K BTC by authorities; source: Sen. Cynthia Lummis statement on X, Oct 15, 2025. For BTC traders, a codified reserve framework would likely reduce near-term government disposals compared with historical practice of auctions and brokered sales that add supply; source: U.S. Marshals Service asset forfeiture sales history and U.S. Department of Justice court filing, Mar 31, 2023 (U.S. v. James Zhong). Absent such codification, large tranches of seized BTC can be liquidated via auctions or exchanges, a pattern that has coincided with short-term volatility around transfer announcements in prior cases; source: U.S. Department of Justice press communications and U.S. Marshals Service auction notices. Traders should track progress on the Lummis-Gillibrand market structure efforts that aim to clarify digital asset jurisdiction and treatment, which could materially affect liquidity, custody, and market integrity; source: Offices of Sens. Cynthia Lummis and Kirsten Gillibrand public releases on the Responsible Financial Innovation Act (2023 update). Near term, monitor on-chain movements from addresses attributed to U.S. government seizures as potential leading indicators of disposals; source: Chainalysis research on government-seized crypto tracking and labeled government wallets on public blockchain explorers.
