#TrumpBTCTreasury 🏛️ 1. Strategic & Corporate Bitcoin Treasury Moves

🇺🇸 U.S. Government “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve”

On March 6–7, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) and a Digital Asset Stockpile for seized crypto—including BTC, ETH, XRP, ADA, SOL—capitalized from assets confiscated via criminal/civil cases .

The government pledged not to sell the BTC reserve—redefining it from seized asset to long-term "digital Fort Knox" .

The Treasury now must audit crypto across all agencies and explore budget-neutral acquisition of additional BTC .

🏢 Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) / Trump Family

Trump Media raised approximately $2.44–2.5 billion via private placements ($1.5B stock + $1B convertible notes) to build a “bitcoin treasury” on its balance sheet .

TMTG already holds ~$759M in cash and plans BTC as core asset—using it in Truth Social payments, utility tokens, fintech spin‑outs .

Trump’s sons, via American Bitcoin (ABTC), hold $23M), choosing to hold rather than just mine .

Trump Finans: Donald Trump earned ~$57.4M in crypto venture income via World Liberty Financial; he also backs a $TRUMP memecoin .
