#BitcoinPolicyShift

The Bitcoin policy shift, centered on the establishment of the US Crypto Reserve announced on March 2, 2025, by President Donald Trump, represents a pivotal development in the US government’s engagement with digital assets. This initiative, also referred to as the Crypto Strategic Reserve, follows an executive order signed on January 23, 2025, titled “Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology” (White House). The reserve includes five major cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA), leveraging the government’s existing Bitcoin holdings, estimated at $17 billion, primarily from seizures related to criminal activities (NPR).
