Citing Protos, Donald Trump’s ordered audit of crypto assets for a Bitcoin Reserve and Digital Asset Stockpile is now 172 days overdue. The review, due on April 5 after Trump’s executive order, has seen no public announcement from the US Treasury, Secretary Scott Bessent, or David Sacks. The Treasury reportedly lacks the audit and redirected inquiries to the IRS, Homeland Security, and the Secret Service. Protos found no public release of the audit. The reserve’s scope has also been reduced, with Bessent indicating the US will not buy BTC, only using seized and forfeited crypto. Sacks noted any expansion would follow 'budget-neutral pathways.' The US Marshals Office is reportedly holding 28,988 forfeited BTC, far below the 200,000 BTC estimated by Arkham.
