The post Treasury and Commerce Are Fighting Over Who Gets to Run America’s Bitcoin Reserve appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
More than 16 months after President Donald Trump signed the […] More than 16 months after President Donald Trump signed the executive order creating a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, the government still hasn’t decided who is allowed to run it. The Treasury and Commerce departments are now in open competition for control of the reserve, according to a Bloomberg report published Monday and citing people familiar with the internal discussions. At issue isn’t just bureaucratic turf. It’s a live legal question: whether Treasury actually has the statutory authority to hold and manage an asset as volatile as bitcoin on the government’s balance sheet at all. That question wasn’t supposed to still be open. Trump’s Executive Order 14233, signed March 6, 2025, was explicit: the Treasury secretary would establish an office to administer the reserve, capitalized entirely

He purchased BONK tokens for $4.4 million, proposed via the governance forum that nobody checked for seven days. He voted yes for the proposal with his own tokens, and watched the funds move to his wallet automatically. Once executed, it was irreversible. In a few hours, BONK price has dropped approximately 6.59% with 955.47 billion volume. The token went from a high near 0.00000490 to 0.00000417 as the news spread. Market cap lost approximately $40 million and some exchanges halted BONK withdrawals.

The post Was It a Hack or Governance? BONK’s $21M Treasury Vote Divides Crypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
BonkDAO says it has alerted law enforcement about the treasury drain and is coordinating with exchanges to manage the situation. An anonymous wallet spent $4.4 million buying BONK tokens over two days, then used that stash to push through a governance vote that allowed it to drain $21.2 million from the BonkDAO treasury. The incident, which saw the attacker walk away with a $16.8 million profit, has split the crypto community between those calling it a theft and those insisting the DAO did exactly what it was built to do. How the Vote Went Through According to blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain, preparations for the theft started on June 30 when the attacker filed a proposal asking BonkDAO to move 4.426 trillion BONK, worth about $21.2 million, to a wallet they controlled. To pass, the proposal had to be supported by at least 1% of the BONK supply, which, per dat
