**#FedHODL: U.S. Central Bank Holds $8B Bitcoin Stash Amid Market Volatility**
The Federal Reserve shocked markets in 2025 by retaining its **$8 billion Bitcoin reserve** — acquired during 2023-2024 bailout programs — despite BTC’s 30% price correction. Dubbed **#FedHODL**, the strategy mirrors corporate Bitcoin holders like MicroStrategy, signaling long-term confidence in crypto as a “macro hedge.” Analysts highlight the Fed’s **21,000 BTC** holdings, stored in offline wallets, as a pivot toward diversifying beyond traditional bonds.
The move stabilized Bitcoin near **$105,000**, with Fed Chair Jerome Powell stating, “Digital assets now play a systemic role in global liquidity.” Critics warn of regulatory risks, but institutional adoption surged, with pension funds allocating 3% to BTC. The Fed’s stance amplifies Bitcoin’s **digital gold narrative**, fueling predictions of a $200K BTC by 2026.
