In March 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to establish the "Strategic Reserve for Bitcoin" and "Digital Asset Inventory" [1]. This reserve aims to hold bitcoins seized from criminal and civil cases as a reserve asset, without selling them, similar to the way gold is held in Fort Knox [2].

The U.S. government estimates that it owns approximately 200,000 bitcoins, valued at around $17 billion [3]. The inventory also includes other digital assets such as Ethereum, Cardano, Solana, and XRP [4].

Trump promotes this step as part of his efforts to make America the "capital of digital currencies" [1]. However, the plan has drawn criticism from economists who believe that relying on volatile assets like Bitcoin to pay off national debts could be risky [5].

Some analysts believe that this move could enhance Bitcoin's status as a strategic asset, while others warn of its volatility and impact on financial stability [6].$
