On March 6, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile. This is a crucial step towards making the US the "crypto capital of the world," as Trump promised during his campaign.
* Capitalization: The Bitcoin reserve will be primarily capitalized with Bitcoin that the US Department of the Treasury acquired through seized assets in criminal or civil proceedings. Other US agencies will explore their authority to transfer any Bitcoin they hold into this reserve.
* Prohibition on Sales: The US government will not sell Bitcoin stored in this Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. It will be maintained as a strategic store of value.
* Acquisition Possibility: The Secretaries of the Treasury and Commerce are authorized to develop budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional Bitcoin, provided these strategies do not incur incremental costs for US taxpayers.
* Current Holdings Estimates: As of March 2025, the United States was estimated to hold approximately 200,000 to 207,000 BTC, making it the largest known state holder of Bitcoin globally.
* Openness and Transparency: A separate office will be established within the US Department of the Treasury to manage and maintain control over these accounts. The held volume will be publicly verifiable and visible on the blockchain as proof of reserve.
The "Trump BTC treasure" in the form of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve has been officially established by an executive order from President Trump. The US holds a significant amount of Bitcoin, primarily acquired through seizures, and has committed to not selling these funds but maintaining them as a strategic reserve. The administration is actively working to strengthen the US's position as a leader in digital assets.
