U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR)

On March 6, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order officially creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a parallel U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, commemorating BTC and other forfeited digital assets as long-term reserve holdings rather than immediate liquidations.

The U.S. government, holding approximately 200,000–207,000 BTC accrued through forfeiture, declared these assets would be maintained, not sold, as part of the national reserve.

Treasury agencies are required to audit their digital holdings, centralize them into the new reserve, and evaluate budget-neutral acquisition strategies based on forfeited assets only.

The BITCOIN Act introduced by Senator Cynthia$ Lummis aims to codify this reserve structure and potentially acquire up to 1 million BTC over 5 years, held in cold storage for at least 20 years with mandated public reporting.
