#BitcoinPolicyShift Recently, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to establish a strategic reserve of Bitcoin in the United States.

This measure marks a significant shift in the country's cryptocurrency policy, as the government now recognizes Bitcoin as a strategic asset, similar to gold.

The executive order states that the reserve will be funded exclusively with bitcoins seized in criminal and civil cases, meaning there will be no financial burden on taxpayers.

In addition, a "Digital Asset Stockpile" will be created to manage other confiscated cryptocurrencies.

Although some in the cryptocurrency industry have welcomed the announcement, the price of Bitcoin fell by more than 5% following the news.

This is partly due to the fact that the reserve will not include government purchases, but rather formalizes the existing policy of holding confiscated assets.

This policy shift has generated diverse opinions. Some see the measure as a positive step towards institutional adoption of Bitcoin, while others express concerns about the transparency and political motivation behind the decision.
