Trump to sign order allowing crypto in 401K accounts
Americans hold $9 trillion in 401K savings
Move could trigger massive Bitcoin adoption
Former President Donald Trump is making headlines again—this time in the world of cryptocurrency. A new executive order, if signed, will allow Americans to invest their 401K retirement savings into Bitcoin and other digital assets. With U.S. citizens holding over $9 trillion in 401K plans, this decision could reshape the retirement investment landscape.
This initiative reflects a growing interest in decentralized finance (DeFi) and comes amid increasing calls for diversification beyond traditional stocks and bonds. Trump’s order could unlock a massive inflow of capital into the crypto market, giving Bitcoin a new role in long-term financial planning.
What This Means for the Average American
If this executive order goes through, workers across the U.S. would have the option to allocate part of their retirement savings into cryptocurrencies through employer-sponsored 401K plans. Currently, retirement accounts are limited to more conservative investment options. Allowing Bitcoin and crypto could give savers a hedge against inflation and access to high-growth digital assets.
Financial institutions and 401K providers would need to develop secure crypto offerings and educate investors on the risks and benefits. While Bitcoin has shown volatile price movements, many see it as digital gold—a store of value that could grow significantly over time.

Crypto’s Path to Mainstream Finance
This order could be a defining moment for Bitcoin. By integrating crypto into one of the most widely used retirement systems in the U.S., the digital asset world moves one step closer to mainstream financial acceptance. Experts say that even a small allocation of 401K savings into crypto could have a significant market impact.
If passed, this would also signal a stark shift in U.S. political attitudes toward digital currencies. Trump, who was previously skeptical of Bitcoin, appears to be embracing its potential as an asset class for the future.
