#Strategy加仓BTC The Federal Reserve Chairman Powell suddenly finds himself embroiled in a criminal investigation storm. The District of Columbia federal prosecutors have filed charges of perjury related to renovation projects, accusing him of manipulating the renovation budget at the Federal Reserve headquarters—escalating from $1.9 billion in 2022 to $2.5 billion. Documents obtained by the prosecution show that high-end features such as VIP dining rooms, rooftop gardens, and private elevators, which Powell publicly denied, were actually included in the renovation list, clearly indicating luxury upgrades under the guise of renovation.

The power struggle behind this controversy is even more noteworthy. The prosecutor leading the investigation is a key figure in the current government, and the long-standing conflict between Trump and Powell has been well known. Since returning to the White House, Trump has been pressuring for significant rate cuts, but Powell has insisted on maintaining inflation safeguards and refused to loosen policy quickly. During exchanges, Trump even publicly disparaged Powell.

This is the first time since its establishment in 1913 that a sitting Federal Reserve chair has faced criminal trial. The long-standing principle of "central bank independence" has been broken.

However, there are variables in reality. The evidence collection process is lengthy, and judicial procedures are complex, while Powell’s term has less than four months remaining. Ultimately, this power game may serve to scare the market into stability or could backfire, harming the economy—markets are watching. For $BTC and $ETH holders, the uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve’s policy direction itself is a trading variable.
