On March 6, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to establish a "strategic reserve of bitcoin" by holding cryptocurrency assets seized as a result of law enforcement actions. This initiative aims to support the digital asset industry without imposing costs on taxpayers.

The reserve will be funded from bitcoins confiscated in criminal and civil proceedings, with additional acquisition strategies needed to remain budget-neutral. This positions the U.S. to take advantage of the fixed supply of bitcoin, enhancing its value as a strategic asset in the global financial system.
