#USBTCStrategicReserve

The U.S. (SBR) is a newly established government program, launched by President Trump’s March 2025 executive order, designed to hold Bitcoin as a national reserve asset—similar to how the Strategic Petroleum Reserve stores oil. As of May 2026, the U.S. already controls about 328,000 BTC, and new legislation could expand holdings to 1 million BTC over 20 years.

The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Is an Executive Order 14233 (March 6, 2025): Formally created the SBR and a broader Digital Asset Stockpile for other cryptocurrencies. and the purpose is to treat Bitcoin as “digital gold” and back part of the U.S. balance sheet with a scarce, decentralized asset.

And there's no sell rule where the Government-held BTC cannot be sold; it is locked as a reserve asset.
