If DOGE hadn't ended up costing more than it cut, they could've done 1:1 bitcoin purchases with those savings.

I haven't been following along with that story lol, I didn't know it actually cost more than it saved. I knew that there wasn't going to be any meaningful impact in spending, and that's when I checked out of that story.

That might be a premature assessment. More accurately, it has cost more than it saved so far. Perhaps there will be longer term savings that eventually outweigh the initial costs.
