Read the full assessment
This market resolves positively if the US government holds any Bitcoin in its reserves before the end of 2026, explicitly excluding confiscated Bitcoin. The primary challenge lies in distinguishing between seized or forfeited assets and formal reserve holdings, especially if acquired assets are retained rather than liquidated under standard government procedures. While official government or Federal Reserve announcements serve as the main source, the rules also permit resolution based on a consensus of credible reporting, leaving room for interpretation if media accounts diverge on whether a specific holding constitutes an official strategic reserve.
