Trump Establishes U.S. Bitcoin Reserve in Landmark Crypto Shift

Washington, D.C. — March 6, 2025

In a groundbreaking move, President Donald J. Trump has signed an executive order creating a U.S. Bitcoin Reserve, officially making the United States the largest state holder of Bitcoin in the world—now estimated at around 200,000 BTC.

The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve will be managed by the Department of Treasury and Commerce, with a directive to optimize digital asset strategies without new taxpayer spending. This “budget-neutral” approach utilizes forfeited Bitcoin from legal cases to establish the reserve.

Supported by crypto-advocate Congressman Byron Donalds, the initiative is seen as a significant policy shift, potentially catalyzing institutional adoption and pushing other nations to follow suit.

Market Response

With the U.S. emerging as a dominant force in sovereign digital asset holdings, speculation has triggered optimism in crypto markets. Analysts expect upward price pressure and increased legitimacy for Bitcoin as a reserve asset on the global stage.

Global Implications

Unlike traditional sovereign funds (e.g., Norway, Singapore), this marks the first time a government has embraced Bitcoin at this scale. Experts suggest this could usher in a new era of digital reserve diversification across nations.
