The Origin of Strategic Reserves: The National Resource Game from Oil to Bitcoin

In 1975, the United States established the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in response to the oil crisis, which remains a core pillar of global energy security today. By 2025, this model was replicated in the cryptocurrency sector — the Trump administration proposed to include cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) in the national strategic reserve assets, marking America's transition from 'oil hegemony' to 'digital asset hegemony'.

The starting point of this strategy can be traced back to July 2024, when Senator Cynthia Lummis submitted the '2024 U.S. Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Act' (BITCOIN Act of 2024), planning to gradually establish a national reserve of 1 million BTC through annual purchases. Subsequently, Trump made 'cryptocurrency strategic reserves' a core promise in his campaign, claiming he would 'make America the global capital of cryptocurrency'. As of March 2025, the U.S. government held approximately 200,000 BTC (worth about $21 billion), primarily sourced from criminal assets seized by the Department of Justice.
