Donald Trump announces US crypto reserve: What it is, and why it matters Donald Trump announced plans to create a national strategic crypto reserve, aiming to make the US "the crypto capital of the world". This reserve would include five cryptocurrencies, although the specific currencies weren't named. Trump shared this update on his Truth Social network, mentioning that a crypto working group, established after his inauguration, is driving the reserve's creation. This move fulfills Trump's campaign promises to crypto lobbyists ¹.

The proposed reserve raises interesting questions about the intersection of government and cryptocurrency. Some experts worry that large-scale government purchases could centralize ownership, contradicting the decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies. Others speculate that the reserve could influence crypto prices, similar to the government's impact on oil prices through the Strategic Petroleum Reserve ².

It's worth noting that Trump had previously expressed support for cryptocurrency, even suggesting the establishment of a federal Bitcoin strategic reserve if he were elected
