#USFedBTCReserve
In March 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, funded by Bitcoin seized via Treasury forfeitures—these holdings will not be sold and are to be held as a reserve asset . The reserve is intended to centralize control and maximize value from previously fragmented crypto assets across federal agencies . According to crypto policy chief David Sacks, the U.S. government previously held ~400,000 BTC and incurred over $16 billion in opportunity losses by selling half too early—a key motive for the new reserve . Recent proposals even consider funding Bitcoin acquisitions using unrealized gains from the Fed’s gold reserves to avoid burdening taxpayers .
