U.S. Establishes a Strategic Reserve of Bitcoin and Digital Assets
In March 2025, the administration of Donald Trump signed an executive order to create a Strategic Reserve of Bitcoin.
This historic initiative consolidates cryptocurrencies seized in criminal proceedings, primarily Bitcoin, to use them as a government store of value.
The measure, which could also include other digital assets like Ethereum, aims to reinforce the U.S.'s leadership in the digital economy. Although the Department of the Treasury has the authority to manage and potentially expand the reserve, its full operation still depends on additional legislation from Congress.
The creation of this reserve has boosted institutional confidence in Bitcoin, but it has also sparked criticism due to the asset's volatility and its potential impact on the stability of the dollar.
Ultimately, this reserve is a strategic move that seeks to integrate cryptocurrencies into the global economy, redefining the state's relationship with digital assets.
