Trump’s Bitcoin Treasury Strategy - Two Key Developments
There are two major developments connected to Trump and Bitcoin reserves:
1. U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
In March 2025, President Trump signed an executive order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve as part of a broader digital asset strategy. This reserve includes around 200,000 BTC, primarily seized in criminal and civil cases. Importantly, the U.S. government will not sell this Bitcoin—it will be held as a long-term national reserve asset, similar to gold or oil.
2. Trump Media (DJT) Bitcoin Treasury
Trump Media & Technology Group (ticker: DJT) filed to raise $2.3–$2.5 billion to purchase Bitcoin for its corporate treasury. This mirrors strategies used by companies like MicroStrategy. As of June 13, 2025, the SEC approved the registration, and DJT plans to allocate this capital into BTC. The company already held over $750 million in cash before this move.
Why This Matters
The U.S. reserve marks a major shift in national policy, treating Bitcoin as a sovereign asset.
Trump Media’s BTC holdings position the company as a major corporate player in the crypto space, giving investors indirect exposure to Bitcoin through its stock.
