President Donald Trump has established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile through an executive order signed on March 6, 2025. The Bitcoin Reserve will be funded exclusively with bitcoin seized during criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings, ensuring no taxpayer funds are used . The reserve aims to treat bitcoin as a long-term store of value, akin to a "digital Fort Knox," and prohibits the sale of any deposited bitcoin .
