#BTCReserveStrategy

The U.S. established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) in March 2025, formalized by President Trump’s executive order, aiming to hold 1 million BTC over five years, using forfeited assets. Senator Cynthia Lummis proposed the BITCOIN Act in 2024, advocating for BTC purchases to diversify reserves. Trump, at a Digital Asset Summit, emphasized retaining BTC, criticizing past sales costing $17 billion. Bo Hines suggested budget-neutral acquisition strategies. Critics like Larry Summers called it “crazy,” warning of political risks, while Arthur Hayes noted potential industry downsides. BlackRock sees de-dollarization driving BTC reserve interest globally. The SBR aims to bolster economic resilience, with 198,109 BTC currently held.
