#TrumpBTCTreasury On March 6, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, using cryptocurrencies seized in criminal and civil forfeitures. The reserve, capitalized with an estimated 200,000 bitcoins worth $17 billion, aims to position the U.S. as a leader in digital finance, treating bitcoin as a reserve asset akin to "digital gold." The Treasury and Commerce Departments are tasked with developing budget-neutral strategies for acquiring more bitcoin. The order also centralizes government crypto holdings, prohibiting sales from the reserve, while a separate stockpile holds other digital assets.
