#TrumpBTCTreasury Donald Trump's administration has made a notable shift towards embracing cryptocurrency, particularly Bitcoin. A key development is the establishment of a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" by Executive Order in March 2025. This initiative aims to position the U.S. as a leader in digital assets by holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset, akin to gold.

Crucially, this reserve is not funded by taxpayer money but capitalized through Bitcoin seized from criminal and civil forfeiture proceedings, with current estimates suggesting the U.S. government holds around 200,000 BTC. The order prohibits selling these reserve Bitcoins, treating them as a long-term store of value. This move signals a significant policy pivot, as Trump previously expressed skepticism towards Bitcoin, now aiming to make the U.S. the "crypto capital of the world."
