BlockBeats news, January 6, Bitfinex analysts stated that if U.S. companies enter Venezuela to develop its vast crude oil reserves, it could suppress energy prices in the medium to long term, thereby improving the profitability of Bitcoin miners. Cheaper and more abundant energy supply is expected to boost miner margins and may drive a new round of mining expansion, especially in regions where long-term power contracts can be secured.Bitfinex believes that even utilizing only a small portion of Venezuela's 303 billion barrels of crude oil reserves could have a substantial impact on the energy market, providing relief for miners currently under pressure due to Bitcoin price corrections, rising mining difficulty, and increasing electricity costs. However, the analysis also notes that the substantial recovery of Venezuela's crude oil production capacity will still require many years, with its progress depending on political transitions and sanctions policy arrangements. Overall, the impact of energy changes on the crypto market remains a secondary factor, with price trends more likely to be dominated by macro risk appetite and cross-asset allocation.

BlockBeats News, January 6th, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis stated in a post, "Why is the U.S. government still selling Bitcoin, when Trump has explicitly instructed that these assets should be retained to establish a U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve. While other countries are continuously increasing their Bitcoin holdings, we are squandering these strategic assets, which we cannot afford. I am deeply concerned about this report."Previously reported, on November 3rd, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice instructed the U.S. Marshals Service to sell 57.55 Bitcoins, approximately $6.367 million, through Coinbase Prime, which were paid as part of the plea agreement in the Samourai Wallet developer case. This may violate Executive Order No. 14233 signed by President Trump. The order requires that Bitcoin obtained by the government through criminal forfeiture be included in the "National Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" and not sold. Currently, the balance of this Bitcoin address is zero, indicating that the related assets may have been liquidated.
