#TrumpBTCTreasury
Trump's Bitcoin treasury strategy involves several key components ¹ ²:
- *Strategic Bitcoin Reserve*: Established through an executive order in March 2025, this reserve will hold Bitcoin seized by the US government through criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings, estimated to be around 200,000 BTC (approximately $20 billion).
- *No Sales*: The US government will not sell Bitcoin deposited into this reserve, maintaining it as a store of reserve assets.
- *Acquiring More Bitcoin*: The Secretaries of Treasury and Commerce are authorized to develop budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional Bitcoin without burdening taxpayers.
- *Trump Media's Bitcoin Treasury*: Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), partially owned by Donald Trump, raised $2.3-$2.5 billion to build a Bitcoin treasury on its balance sheet, alongside $759 million in cash and equivalents.
- *Bitcoin ETF Filing*: TMTG has also filed for a spot Bitcoin ETF, aiming to give shareholders direct BTC exposure.
The goal of this strategy appears to be ²:
- *Hedging Against Inflation*: Positioning Bitcoin as a strategic asset to protect against inflation and financial instability.
- *Financial Sovereignty*: Enhancing the US's financial independence and leadership in digital assets.
- *Promoting Crypto Adoption*: Trump's administration is embracing digital assets to drive economic growth and technological leadership, with a focus on making the US the "crypto capital of the world".
