President Trump has taken a major step in the crypto space by signing an executive order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a broader Digital-Asset Stockpile. (The White House)
Key points:
The reserve will treat Bitcoin held by the U.S. government (via forfeiture) as a reserve asset rather than selling it. (The White House)
A new working group (the Presidential Working Group on Digital Asset Markets) has been formed to design a federal regulatory framework for digital assets, with a report due within 180 days. (Wikipedia)
The order prohibits agencies from issuing or promoting a central bank digital currency (CBDC). (Wikipedia)
Trump signalled that the U.S. aims to become the global leader in cryptocurrency innovation and oversight. (The White House)
What this means for the crypto market
There’s optimism: The announcement helped lift cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum and others as investors anticipated clearer rules and stronger adoption. (Wikipedia)
Increased government involvement: When a nation steps in to hold crypto assets as reserve, it changes the narrative — crypto is being treated more like a strategic national asset rather than just speculative.
Greater regulatory clarity ahead: With the working group in motion, firms may get more predictable rules, which can encourage institutional participation.
Be aware of risks: Even with more clarity, crypto remains volatile. The sector’s reaction to policy shifts can still be sharp and unpredictable.
