On May 28, 2025, the U.S. government held approximately $20.4 billion in Bitcoin and $493 million in other digital assets, primarily sourced from seizures related to criminal activities.

The U.S. government's Bitcoin reserve strategy was established by an executive order from President Trump, aimed at increasing its reserves by confiscating criminal proceeds and purchasing Bitcoin with fines. Previously, the U.S. government held about 200,000 BTC, valued at approximately $21 billion, mainly sourced from criminal assets seized by the Department of Justice. As Bitcoin prices fluctuate, its value has changed by May.

The holding of these assets has had a certain impact on the cryptocurrency market, reflecting the government's emphasis on cryptocurrencies and potentially affecting the supply and demand dynamics in the market, driving the fluctuations in Bitcoin prices. At the same time, this initiative may attract more institutional investors' interest in Bitcoin, further promoting the market's maturation and standardization.
