#BitcoinPolicyShift On March 6, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing a government Bitcoin reserve. This initiative mandates the U.S. government to retain approximately 200,000 bitcoins seized in various proceedings, positioning this reserve as a "digital Fort Knox" to serve as a store of value. The order also calls for a comprehensive audit of the government's Bitcoin holdings and the development of strategies to acquire more bitcoins without additional taxpayer expenses. This move signifies a notable shift in the U.S. government's approach to integrating cryptocurrencies into its financial system.

Furthermore, the executive order includes the creation of a "U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile," managed by the Department of the Treasury, to hold other cryptocurrencies seized by the government. This broader initiative aims to support the digital assets industry and underscores the administration's commitment to embracing digital currencies.
