PANews reported on March 7 that Fox Business News reporter Eleanor Terrett posted on platform X stating that Trump's executive order established two different mechanisms for the storage of digital assets:
1. Strategic Reserve, which only stores Bitcoin (BTC). The initial fund comes from about 200,000 Bitcoin acquired by the government over the years through criminal and civil seizures. Treasury Secretary Bessent and Commerce Secretary Lutnick were authorized to explore ways to acquire more Bitcoin without increasing the tax burden, positioning it as a national-level digital store of value.
2. Digital Asset Inventory, which includes digital assets other than Bitcoin - possibly including XRP, ADA, ETH, and SOL among others. The Department of the Treasury is responsible for the "responsible management" of the digital assets owned by the government. The government will only explore neutral budgeting methods to buy more Bitcoin and will not actively seek to increase the amount of other digital assets in the inventory. The executive order also requires a thorough audit of all government-held digital assets currently owned to ensure transparency in asset management.
