💰 On March 6, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, using Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies seized in criminal or civil forfeiture proceedings.
💰 The reserve, capitalized with approximately 200,000 BTC (~$18 billion), aims to position the U.S. as a leader in digital finance, treating Bitcoin as a reserve asset akin to “digital gold.” The Treasury and Commerce Secretaries are tasked with exploring budget-neutral strategies to acquire more Bitcoin, though no taxpayer funds will be used.
💰 The Digital Asset Stockpile includes other tokens like Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano, but only from forfeitures, with potential sales allowed.
💰 Trump Media & Technology Group, majority-owned by Trump, also announced a $2.5 billion raise to create a Bitcoin treasury, mirroring corporate trends like MicroStrategy’s strategy.
💰 This move, involving $1.5 billion in stock and $1 billion in convertible notes, aims to bolster the company’s balance sheet with Bitcoin as a core asset, despite a 10% share price drop post-announcement.
💰 Market reactions are mixed. Bitcoin’s price dipped 5% to $85,000 after the reserve announcement but later recovered to $89,200. Critics argue the reserve benefits existing crypto investors and raises conflict-of-interest concerns due to Trump’s crypto ventures, including World Liberty Financial and $TRUMP memecoin.
💰 Proponents see it as a step toward mainstream crypto adoption, potentially driving institutional investment.
