Donald Trump's administration has signaled a significant shift towards embracing Bitcoin, culminating in the establishment of a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" by executive order in March 2025. This reserve, primarily capitalized by Bitcoin seized in criminal and civil forfeitures, aims to position the U.S. as a leader in the crypto space and provide economic stability.
Beyond government holdings, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) also announced plans to raise $2.5 billion to establish its own Bitcoin treasury, further solidifying the former president's personal and business ties to the cryptocurrency. This move highlights a growing trend of companies holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets, viewing it as a strategic asset. The overall sentiment from the Trump administration points towards a more favorable regulatory environment for digital assets, contrasting with previous approaches.
