Understanding btc reserves

It a challenge.
Oh as a total and complete aside.
My wife has a totally "safe" tsp which gets around 4% so it loses a bit each year.
Orange man will allow a BTC fund. To fed workers or retirees.
So Pretend my wife has 300k getting 4%=12,000 I have convinced her to take 25% of the interest earned ie 3,000 so she can have $$$ in BTC
This is a big deal as the federal tsp and/or 401k equivalent has trillions in it.
This should help support BTC price bigly.
IT ALSO should allow for a large dip buy if BTC drops enough.
Do not worry about these numbers 115k there are tons of funds waiting to go into btc.
