#BitcoinPolicyShift On March 6, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing a "strategic bitcoin reserve" by retaining cryptocurrency assets seized through law enforcement. This initiative directs federal agencies to hold onto bitcoin and develop budget-neutral strategies for acquiring more, without burdening taxpayers. Additionally, a "U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile" will manage other confiscated cryptocurrencies. This move aims to bolster the digital assets industry and precedes a White House crypto summit featuring notable figures in the sector.

The reserve will be funded by bitcoin seized in criminal and civil asset proceedings, thus incurring no cost to taxpayers. Additional acquisition strategies must also remain budget-neutral. This move positions the U.S. advantageously, capitalizing on bitcoin's fixed supply
