$BTC Crypto communities waited for an executive order, and four days later, on March 6, Trump signed it. Nonetheless, the order separated Bitcoin from other digital assets and confirmed the government’s decision not to purchase additional altcoins like XRP.

David Sacks, the White House official overseeing crypto and AI policy, first disclosed portions of the order on X. He confirmed that the US government holds around 200,000 Bitcoin. Notably, the government had continued to sell off most of its holdings, seized from criminals in the past.
