Overview
Across multiple outlets, Cathie Wood is framed as arguing that U.S. politics—especially the run-up to the 2026 midterm elections—could be the catalyst for a shift in federal bitcoin policy. The common thread: moving beyond merely holding seized BTC and toward outright purchases for a national strategic reserve, which Wood presents as a potentially market-significant signal.
