#ArizonaBTCReserve Strategic bitcoin reserve
The strategic bitcoin reserve is a reserve asset, funded by the United States Treasury's forfeited bitcoin, announced by President Donald Trump in March 2025. Separately, a digital asset stockpile for non-bitcoin assets was also created. Trump has previously stated that he wants the US to become the "crypto capital of the world".
The reserve will be capitalized with bitcoin already owned by the federal government.[5] The United States is the largest known state holder of bitcoin in the world, estimated to hold about 200,000 BTC, as of March 2025.[6]
The reserve has provoked mixed reactions, from some economists criticizing the idea,[7] to governments of several states initializing similar projects.
