šļø 1. U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (Federal-Level)
On March 6, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile .
This uses forfeited bitcoin (estimated ~200,000 BTC) from criminal or civil cases as a form of digital gold, with no planned sales ā it must be held long-term .
The Treasury and Commerce Departments may explore ways to acquire more bitcoin without new taxpayer costs .
Strategic rationale:
Establishes Bitcoin as a national reserve asset akin to gold or the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Aims to give the U.S. a greater stake in the fast-growing digital asset ecosystem .
Critics warn of conflicts (given Trumpās crypto interests), volatile valuation, and limited taxpayer upside .
