According to records, since U.S. President Donald Trump signed the executive order officially launching the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Fund, the government's bitcoin reserve has surged by nearly $7 billion in value.
U.S. Bitcoin Reserve Value Soars
In the early years of Bitcoin, long before the price of Bitcoin soared as it is today, the U.S. government sold off most of its Bitcoin holdings for just a fraction of the current price. But in 2025, the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump, turned the tide - officially launching the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Fund (SBR) and declaring that the country would no longer sell BTC.
Trump issued this plan through an executive order on March 6, 2025, when the price of Bitcoin was around $90,000 per coin. Fast forward to the present, Bitcoin is fluctuating at $121,756. This means the government's reserve of 198,012 BTC has surged by $6.95 billion since March 6.
The total value of the Bitcoin reserve currently stands at $24.85 billion. In addition to the Bitcoin holdings, the U.S. government also owns 59,951 ETH. As of March 6, this amount of Ethereum was worth $131.91 million. As of July 14, the total value of Ether has surged to approximately $182.32 million.
Looking back over the past five years, data shows that the government regularly transferred ETH to exchanges like Coinbase, while the Bitcoin holdings remained relatively unchanged. Among countries, the U.S. leads in total BTC holdings, followed by the United Kingdom, Bhutan, and El Salvador. With a more than 30% increase in Bitcoin since the beginning of the year, all these countries have seen their BTC holdings increase in value.
