Bitcoin reserve: Why did Trump just order US to set up a crypto stockpile

Published On Mar 6, 2025, 10:39 PM

President Trump has signed an executive order to create a Bitcoin strategic reserve in the U.S., positioning the nation among a few globally to stockpile blockchain assets. This reserve will include cryptocurrency obtained through federal law enforcement actions, and it will not be sold but held as an asset. The strategic reserve aims to provide a form of digital security similar to existing national reserves, although details on its practical benefits remain unclear.
