Official Dogecoin Reserve Established! DOGE Foundation Announced First Purchase

The Dogecoin Foundation announced the creation of an "Official Dogecoin Reserve" with an initial purchase of 10 million DOGE, valued at approximately 1.8 million dollars at current market prices through its newly established corporate unit.

This move is part of the strategic partnership with House of Doge, a commercialization organization that became the official partner under a five-year agreement signed in February. According to House of Doge, the reserve serves as a proof of concept highlighting the potential of Dogecoin for seamless and efficient transactions.

The company stated in a press release, "The launch of the Dogecoin Reserve is an important step in the vision of House of Doge to make Dogecoin a fast and reliable payment option for businesses and shoppers everywhere." The initiative includes innovative technology that allows merchants to instantly accept Dogecoin payments at checkout, eliminating traditional blockchain transaction waiting times and providing the same level of security as traditional payment methods.

Timothy Stebbing, the director of the Dogecoin Foundation, announced in a post on X on February 21 that discussions have been held with U.S. government officials expressing their willingness to adopt Dogecoin for various payment use cases, including city parking and public service payments.

Additionally, at least three exchange-traded funds related to Dogecoin are currently under review by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the (ETF) application. Bloomberg analysts recently predicted a 75% chance of approval for the DOGE ETF by the end of the year.
