Bitcoin is sitting at $94,441.99 (+0.2%).
The BTC Reserve deadline was May 5, 2025, set after President Trump signed an executive order on March 6. That order told the U.S. Treasury to come up with a plan for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, using Bitcoin that had been seized. It’s a big move that shows the government is seriously looking at Bitcoin as part of its national reserves.
At the same time, Senator Cynthia Lummis introduced the BITCOIN Act of 2025, which lays out a plan to buy up 1 million BTC over five years. These coins would be held in trust and stored securely in decentralized facilities across the country. The idea is to boost the U.S.'s position in the digital asset space and test Bitcoin’s potential as a reserve asset.
This deadline is a major milestone, with everyone watching to see how the Treasury handles Bitcoin going forward. The outcome could shape both U.S. policy and global crypto adoption. The future of Bitcoin in government finance is still uncertain—but it’s definitely heating up.
