While President Trump announced plans for a U.S. Bitcoin reserve, no new purchases have been made. Instead, the government relies on confiscated Bitcoin, which has disappointed investors. Without clear policies, uncertainty persists, leading to weakened confidence and a bearish sentiment in the market. Regulatory crackdowns in multiple countries have also intensified concerns. Unclear tax policies, the possibility of stricter anti-money laundering regulations, and uncertainty around institutional adoption have made investors cautious about increasing their exposure to Bitcoin.
