In a bold shift that could redefine the future of digital assets in national economies, former President Donald Trump has moved to position Bitcoin at the center of both governmental and corporate treasury strategies.
In March 2025, the U.S. Treasury, under Trump’s directive, established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve using forfeited digital assets. This unprecedented move places Bitcoin alongside traditional reserves like gold and oil, signaling a formal recognition of cryptocurrency as a store of national value. According to the executive order, the Bitcoin held in this reserve is not to be sold, reinforcing its role as a long-term strategic asset.
Parallel to this governmental move, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) received SEC approval in June 2025 for a \$2.3 billion deal to build a corporate Bitcoin treasury. The company plans to use the raised capital to acquire BTC, mirroring the aggressive accumulation strategies of firms like MicroStrategy. TMTG also aims to launch a Truth Social Bitcoin ETF, pending regulatory clearance.
Adding to the momentum, Trump’s personal financial disclosures revealed he earned over \$57 million in 2024 through various crypto ventures, including token sales and Bitcoin mining. These revelations have raised questions about potential conflicts of interest, as Trump continues to intertwine personal profit with national crypto policy.
Together, these moves signal a coordinated push by Trump to cement Bitcoin’s role in both public and private financial infrastructure, potentially shaping the next era of crypto adoption in the United States.
