#TrumpBTCTreasury Trump's Bitcoin Treasury strategy involves two main components¹:
- *Strategic Bitcoin Reserve*: In March 2025, President Trump signed an executive order to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve using approximately 200,000 BTC seized from court proceedings, valued at around $20 billion. This reserve will be held permanently by the Treasury.
- *Trump Media & Technology Group's Bitcoin Treasury*: Trump Media, the company behind Truth Social, raised $2.5 billion from 50 institutional investors to build a Bitcoin treasury. The SEC approved the registration statement for this deal on June 13, 2025, allowing the company to purchase BTC and potentially launch a spot Bitcoin ETF.
The goals of this strategy include:
- *Hedging against inflation*: Trump’s team views Bitcoin as a potential hedge against inflation and a means to enhance financial resilience.
- *Financial sovereignty*: The move aims to position the US as a leader in digital assets and challenge traditional banking constraints.
- *Diversification*: Trump's media company joins the ranks of firms like MicroStrategy in building a Bitcoin-centric treasury strategy.
However, critics raise concerns about:
- *Volatility risks*: Bitcoin's price fluctuations could impact companies holding BTC treasuries.
- *Conflicts of interest*: Trump's personal involvement in cryptocurrency ventures raises questions about regulatory oversight and potential conflicts of interest.
