#TrumpBTCTreasury

In March 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, using seized cryptocurrencies to position the U.S. as a leader in digital finance. The reserve, capitalized with approximately 200,000 bitcoins (worth ~$17 billion) from criminal forfeitures, aims to treat bitcoin as a reserve asset, akin to "digital gold." Other agencies will transfer their bitcoin holdings to the reserve, which will not be sold. A separate stockpile will hold other cryptocurrencies like Ether and Solana. The policy has sparked debate over economic benefits and potential conflicts of interest
