Current Status and Next Steps
As of April 2025, the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is in its early stages of implementation:
Ongoing Audit: The Treasury Department must submit a detailed report within 60 days of the executive order (approximately May 2025) regarding the legal and investment considerations for the reserve.
Acquisition Strategies: The Treasury and Commerce secretaries are exploring ways to acquire more bitcoins at no cost to taxpayers, such as through tariffs or the revaluation of gold reserves.
Cryptocurrency Summit: The summit on March 7 provided a platform to discuss regulations and strategies, but no specific details about the outcomes have been published. Future summits are expected to clarify how the reserve will operate.
Global Interest: Other countries, such as Sweden, are considering Bitcoin reserves, which could accelerate global adoption if the U.S. consolidates its leadership.
