#BTCReserveStrategy

The #BTCReserveStrategy refers to a national or institutional plan to hold Bitcoin (BTC) as a strategic reserve asset, similar to how countries hold gold or foreign currencies. This concept gained momentum in 2025 when U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, using seized BTC from criminal investigations rather than taxpayer funds. The strategy positions Bitcoin as a long-term store of value, potentially helping governments diversify assets, reduce debt, and hedge against inflation.

Currently, the U.S. government holds over 200,000 BTC, much of it confiscated from major cases like Silk Road and Bitfinex. The executive order specifies that these holdings should not be sold, but rather held as part of a sovereign digital asset treasury. States like Texas have also passed laws creating their own state-level Bitcoin reserves, signaling a decentralized trend in public BTC accumulation.

The strategy has gained support from leading voices in the crypto and financial sectors. Senator Cynthia Lummis’ BITCOIN Act proposes that the U.S. acquire up to 1 million BTC over five years, while Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), has proposed even more ambitious holdings—up to 25% of total BTC supply.
