This is why places like USA figured out an alternative, they are not spending tax money to buy, they just seize criminal peoples bitcoins to make sure they are used for reserve. That way nobody pays anything from their pocket, no tax goes there, and yet the nation still ends up with bunch of bitcoins as a reserve. This method is the best for any government out there, seize, and hold.

First, Trump's strategic bitcoin reserve is just an executive order, not an "Act". That means he can sign another decree to sell it whenever he wants. Therefore, it is not a real national reserve. Second, the Trump administration has no authority to use tax dollars or any government funds to buy bitcoin, not because they are concerned about other economic risks.

The US government has no authority to hold national reserves, and the use of seized bitcoin to create a bitcoin reserve by executive order is merely an act of appeasing the community.

In addition, this method also has disadvantages. Imagine if they didn't want to spend money and just used the confiscated bitcoins as reserves, what if they abused their power to indiscriminately confiscate bitcoins from investors?
If they really believe in bitcoin and are serious about adding bitcoin to their national reserves, they should buy it with their national budget just like they buy gold.
