Today, President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile. The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve will only include Bitcoin, which will be treated as the sole reserve asset. XRP and other altcoins is not part of this reserve.
However, XRP and other crypto are included in the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile along with other altcoins. This stockpile is separate from the Bitcoin reserve and will contain digital assets other than Bitcoin that were forfeited in criminal or civil proceedings.
It's important to note that while Trump had previously mentioned XRP as one of five cryptocurrencies he wanted to include in a potential national reserve, the actual executive order signed today makes a clear distinction between the Bitcoin-only reserve and the separate stockpile for other digital assets, including XRP.
