Rep. Gerald E. Connolly, the Ranking Member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is urging the US Treasury Department to abandon plans to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve and a digital asset stockpile.

眾議院監督和政府改革委員會的排名成員眾議員杰拉爾德·康諾利（Gerald E.

In a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Connolly condemned the effort as fiscally irresponsible and politically motivated. He warned that the initiative would serve no clear public benefit while significantly enriching President Donald Trump and his allies.

康諾利在致財政部長斯科特·貝斯特（Scott Bessent）的信中譴責了這項努力在財政上不負責任且出於政治動機。他警告說，該倡議將不會對公共利益有所清晰，同時大大豐富了唐納德·特朗普及其盟友。

Trump’s executive order

特朗普的行政命令

Connolly’s concerns stem from Trump’s March 6 executive order establishing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and US Digital Asset Stockpile, which builds on a broader January 23 directive, “Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology.”

康諾利的擔憂源於特朗普3月6日的行政命令，建立了戰略性比特幣儲備和美國數字資產庫存，該儲備基於1月23日的更廣泛的指令，“增強了美國在數字金融技術方面的領導力”。

The initiative would position the federal government as a major holder of Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA). Trump has called the move a way to cement US dominance in digital assets.

該倡議將將聯邦政府作為比特幣（BTC），以太坊（ETH），XRP，Solana（Sol）和Cardano（ADA）的主要持有人。特朗普稱這一舉動是鞏固美國在數字資產中統治地位的方法。

Connolly noted Trump’s sharp change in stance on crypto, highlighting that he had previously dismissed digital assets as a “scam” during his first term.

康諾利（Connolly）指出，特朗普對加密貨幣的立場發生了巨大的變化，強調他以前曾將數字資產視為“騙局”。

However, his administration is now preparing to allocate federal funds to the sector — an approach Connolly criticized as an attempt to manipulate financial markets for political and personal gain.

但是，他的政府現在正準備將聯邦資金分配給該行業 - 康諾利批評的方法是試圖操縱金融市場以獲得政治和個人利益。

He argued that the move amounts to picking winners among digital currencies and creating artificial demand for assets that Trump has financial exposure to.

他認為，此舉等於在數字貨幣中挑選贏家，並提出對特朗普擁有財務資產的人為需求。

Conflicts of Interest

利益衝突

The Ranking Member outlined several potential conflicts of interest, including Trump’s reported stake in World Liberty Financial, a digital asset firm that aims to function as a crypto-based lending and investment platform.

該排名成員概述了一些潛在的利益衝突，包括特朗普在世界自由金融公司（World Liberty Financial）報告的股份，這是一家數字資產公司，旨在充當基於加密貨幣的貸款和投資平台。

Connolly warned that government purchases of crypto could directly benefit Trump’s financial holdings, particularly if the administration prioritizes assets that align with his private investments.

Connolly警告說，政府購買加密貨幣可以直接受益於特朗普的財務持有，特別是如果政府優先考慮與他的私人投資保持一致的資產。

He also pointed to Trump’s involvement in the $TRUMP memecoin, which has surged in value based on speculation surrounding his political statements.

他還指出，特朗普參與了$特朗普的紀念品，該紀念物的價值飆升，基於圍繞他的政治言論的猜測。

He pointed to reports that entities linked to Trump have generated over $100 million in trading fees from the token, raising concerns that the administration’s crypto initiatives could further drive financial speculation tied to the president.

他指出，與特朗普相關的實體從代幣中產生了超過1億美元的交易費用，這引起了政府的加密計劃可能會進一步推動與總統有關的財務推測。

Lack of Congressional oversight

缺乏國會監督

Connolly also criticized the administration for bypassing Congress in its push to create the reserve, arguing that Trump had not sought legislative authorization nor engaged in consultation with lawmakers about the reserve’s potential risks or benefits.

康諾利還批評政府繞過國會建立儲備金的推動，認為特朗普沒有尋求立法授權，也沒有與立法者就保護區的潛在風險或福利進行協商。

He warned that without congressional oversight, the initiative could become a tool for political influence rather than a legitimate financial strategy.

他警告說，如果沒有國會的監督，該倡議可能會成為政治影響力的工具，而不是合法的財務戰略。

He also referenced skepticism from financial experts, citing a Federal Reserve official who reportedly described the plan as “the dumbest idea” ever.

他還引用了財務專家的懷疑，並引用了一位美聯儲官員，據報導該計劃是有史以來最愚蠢的想法。

Connolly urged the Treasury Department to immediately halt all plans related to the strategic crypto reserve. He requested a full briefing for House Oversight Committee staff by March 27 and sought clarity on the reserve’s legal justification.

康諾利敦促財政部立即停止與戰略加密保護區有關的所有計劃。他要求在3月27日之前對眾議院監督委員會工作人員進行完整的簡報，並要求澄清預備役的法律理由。

He also requested clarity regarding the process for acquiring and managing the assets, the potential impact on crypto markets, and any financial ties between the White House and digital asset firms.

他還要求清楚地清楚地獲取和管理資產的過程，對加密市場的潛在影響以及白宮與數字資產公司之間的任何財務關係。

The Treasury Department has not yet responded to Connolly’s request. His letter signals growing opposition from congressional Democrats, who are increasingly scrutinizing Trump’s expanding involvement in the digital asset industry.

財政部尚未對Connolly的要求做出回應。他的信號信號越來越多，國會民主黨人越來越多地審查特朗普不斷擴大的數字資產行業的參與。
