#BitcoinReserveDeadline
The Bitcoin Reserve deadline was May 5, 2025, as mandated by President Donald Trump's executive order on March 6, 2025. The order required the U.S. Treasury Secretary to submit a comprehensive assessment on establishing and managing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve using seized digital assets. However, it appears the U.S. Treasury missed this deadline without releasing the report or making any public statements.¹ ²
*Key Aspects of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve:*
- *Purpose*: The reserve aims to capitalize on Bitcoin assets seized through legal proceedings, maintaining them as reserve assets without selling.
- *Management*: The report was expected to address legal and investment considerations, including accounts for asset custody and potential legislative requirements.
- *Global Impact*: The outcome could significantly influence the U.S. position in the global digital asset landscape and potentially set a precedent for other governments.³ ⁴
*Potential Implications:*
- *Bitcoin Price*: The anticipation of the report had sparked speculation about a potential price rally, with some experts predicting Bitcoin could surge past $100,000 and reach new highs.
- *Global Economy*: The report's insights could inform future policy decisions on digital asset management and investment, guiding the U.S. government's approach to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
