The United States will have a "strategic reserve" of cryptocurrencies.

But beyond the flashy announcements, there are not many details. Thus, in practice, it is unclear how it will work or how it would benefit Americans, beyond the fact that, with this decree, Trump seeks to know the exact volume of cryptocurrencies in federal hands to deposit them in this reserve, which will be controlled by the Department of the Treasury.

This new reserve mainly considers bitcoin, the strongest digital currency currently, with a value close to US$ 83.000 per unit, although the quotation can vary quite a bit. According to the White House's "czar" for artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies, David Sacks, it will be capitalized with bitcoins owned by the federal government that were seized in operations against criminal activities. "This means it will not cost taxpayers a dime," he stated. In addition to bitcoin, this reserve is expected to include more cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum, XRP, SOL, and ADA.
