#BitcoinPolicyShift On March 7, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing a strategic bitcoin reserve fund and a digital asset reserve for other cryptocurrencies. This reserve fund will be financed by assets seized in criminal or civil proceedings, with potential additional purchases that do not incur costs to taxpayers. Although this move aligns with policy expectations, many in the cryptocurrency industry had hoped for more aggressive actions, such as the government directly purchasing bitcoin.

David Sacks, the White House's AI and cryptocurrency expert, likened this reserve to a "Digital Fort Knox," emphasizing its strategic importance. The establishment of this reserve marks a significant step toward the legitimacy of institutional involvement in bitcoin, setting a precedent for sovereign adoption.
