#TrumpBTCTreasury President Donald Trump has significantly deepened his involvement in the cryptocurrency sector, both personally and through his administration's policies.
šļø Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
In March 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14178, establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile. The reserve is funded with Bitcoin seized by federal agencies through criminal and civil asset forfeiture proceedings. The U.S. government has approximately 200,000 BTC, valued at around $17.5 billion, which will be retained as a store of value and not sold. The order also directs the Treasury and Commerce Secretaries to develop strategies for acquiring additional Bitcoin without imposing costs on taxpayers .
š° Personal Crypto Ventures
President Trump has also made substantial personal investments in the crypto industry. In his 2024 financial disclosure, he reported earning approximately $57 million from his stake in World Liberty Financial, a family-backed cryptocurrency firm. Trump holds 15.75 billion governance tokens in the company, granting him significant voting rights. The firm has raised over $1 billion through token sales and is involved in various crypto ventures, including a dollar-pegged stablecoin, a Bitcoin-mining firm named American Bitcoin, and the creation of memecoins .
š Bitcoin Treasury Trend
Trump's media company, Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), has also entered the Bitcoin treasury trend. In June 2025, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective TMTG's registration for a $2.3 billion Bitcoin treasury deal. The company plans to hold Bitcoin alongside existing cash and short-term investments, following the lead of firms like MicroStrategy and GameStop in adopting Bitcoin as a reserve asset .
āļø Political and Ethical Concerns
The administration's embrace of cryptocurrency has sparked criticism from some lawmakers. Democratic Representative Gerald E. Connolly has called for the Treasury to abandon plans for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
