The U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve was officially established on March 6, 2025, when President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled "Establishment of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and United States Digital Asset Stockpile."
Key details:
It is primarily funded by seized/forfeited Bitcoin from criminal and civil cases (U.S. government holdings estimated at ~200,000 BTC, making it the world's largest known government holder).
The government is prohibited from selling Bitcoin in the reserve – it's designed as a long-term "store of value" (often called "digital gold").
A separate U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile was created for other cryptocurrencies (e.g., Ether, $BTC , etc.).
Future acquisitions must be budget-neutral (no new taxpayer costs), but no large-scale purchases have been announced yet.
Regarding any specific "deadline":
There is no active major deadline currently highlighted in recent news.
Earlier deadlines (e.g., 30-day agency reporting in March 2025, or working group recommendations) have already passed.
The BITCOIN Act of 2025 (introduced by Sen. Cynthia Lummis and others, proposing to purchase up to 1 million BTC over time) remains pending in Congress with no fixed deadline.
