The company said it may continue expanding its Bitcoin portfolio depending on market conditions.
The announcement came during “crypto week” in Congress, where three major crypto bills, backed by President Trump, advanced.
Trump signed the GENIUS stablecoin bill into law, which may benefit World Liberty Financial, a crypto firm tied to his family.
Its governance token, WLFI, doubled in value after a vote to make it tradable.
The president’s memecoin, Official Trump (TRUMP), also rose from $10.45 to $11.55, with Trump-linked entities controlling about 80% of its supply.
Trump and his family reportedly own a 20% stake in World Liberty.
Earlier this year, Trump signed an executive order to create a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” and “Digital Asset Stockpile” for the U.S., possibly involving revalued gold certificates.
