Trump creates Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, other cryptocurrencies to be used in stockpile
Published On Mar 6, 2025, 8:42 PM
President Trump has established a 'Strategic Bitcoin Reserve' through an executive order, aimed at capitalizing on bitcoin owned by the federal government from asset forfeiture proceedings. This reserve, projected to contain around 200,000 bitcoins, will not involve taxpayer costs and will be kept as a long-term store of value. Critics of previous administrations have highlighted missed opportunities in bitcoin management, emphasizing the need for strategic actions to maximize governmental value from bitcoin holdings. Additionally, a separate U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile will be created for other cryptocurrencies like XRP, Solana, and Cardano. This development is part of an overarching effort to bolster the U.S.' position in the crypto market, especially ahead of a digital asset summit discussion featuring key figures in the cryptocurrency industry.
