  As a representative of BYDFi, I can confirm that the US government does not have direct ownership of bitcoin. Bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency that is not controlled by any government or central authority. The ownership of bitcoin is determined by individual users who hold private keys to their wallets. The government's role is to regulate and enforce laws related to bitcoin, such as anti-money laundering and tax compliance.
