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.

众议院监督和政府改革委员会的排名成员众议员杰拉尔德·康诺利（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.

康诺利在致财政部长斯科特·贝斯特（Scott Bessent）的信中谴责了这项努力在财政上不负责任且出于政治动机。他警告说，该倡议将不会对公共利益有所清晰，同时大大丰富了唐纳德·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.”

康诺利的担忧源于特朗普3月6日的行政命令，建立了战略性比特币储备和美国数字资产库存，该储备基于1月23日的更广泛的指令，“增强了美国在数字金融技术方面的领导力”。

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.

该倡议将将联邦政府作为比特币（BTC），以太坊（ETH），XRP，Solana（Sol）和Cardano（ADA）的主要持有人。特朗普称这一举动是巩固美国在数字资产中统治地位的方法。

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.

康诺利（Connolly）指出，特朗普对加密货币的立场发生了巨大的变化，强调他以前曾将数字资产视为“骗局”。

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，他的政府现在正准备将联邦资金分配给该行业 - 康诺利批评的方法是试图操纵金融市场以获得政治和个人利益。

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

他认为，此举等于在数字货币中挑选赢家，并提出对特朗普拥有财务资产的人为需求。

Conflicts of Interest

利益冲突

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.

该排名成员概述了一些潜在的利益冲突，包括特朗普在世界自由金融公司（World Liberty Financial）报告的股份，这是一家数字资产公司，旨在充当基于加密货币的贷款和投资平台。

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警告说，政府购买加密货币可以直接受益于特朗普的财务持有，特别是如果政府优先考虑与他的私人投资保持一致的资产。

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

他还指出，特朗普参与了$特朗普的纪念品，该纪念物的价值飙升，基于围绕他的政治言论的猜测。

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，与特朗普相关的实体从代币中产生了超过1亿美元的交易费用，这引起了政府的加密计划可能会进一步推动与总统有关的财务推测。

Lack of Congressional oversight

缺乏国会监督

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.

康诺利还批评政府绕过国会建立储备金的推动，认为特朗普没有寻求立法授权，也没有与立法者就保护区的潜在风险或福利进行协商。

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

他警告说，如果没有国会的监督，该倡议可能会成为政治影响力的工具，而不是合法的财务战略。

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

他还引用了财务专家的怀疑，并引用了一位美联储官员，据报道该计划是有史以来最愚蠢的想法。

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.

康诺利敦促财政部立即停止与战略加密保护区有关的所有计划。他要求在3月27日之前对众议院监督委员会工作人员进行完整的简报，并要求澄清预备役的法律理由。

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.

他还要求清楚地清楚地获取和管理资产的过程，对加密市场的潜在影响以及白宫与数字资产公司之间的任何财务关系。

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.

财政部尚未对Connolly的要求做出回应。他的信号信号越来越多，国会民主党人越来越多地审查特朗普不断扩大的数字资产行业的参与。
