The White House did not announce a fresh directive for Congress to create a strategic $BTC
Bitcoin reserve. What actually took place was:
On March 6, 2025, President $TRUMP
T
trump signed an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile. These were to be maintained with forfeited digital assets, not newly acquired ones—Bitcoin already held by the Treasury through criminal or civil forfeiture would fund the reserve, and any new acquisitions must be budget-neutral and cost-neutral to taxpayers.
The White House’s later crypto policy report—published in late July 2025—made no new mention of such a Bitcoin reserve, though officials like Bo Hines confirmed the project remains active and that accumulation would proceed “in short order.”
So, the claim of a new order for Congress to initiate a Bitcoin reserve appears to be inaccurate or misleading.
