#BitcoinPolicyShift In March 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to establish a U.S. strategic cryptocurrency reserve, initially focusing on Bitcoin (BTC). This reserve is to be funded by bitcoins seized through criminal and civil proceedings, aiming to position the U.S. as a leader in the cryptocurrency space without burdening taxpayers.
The executive order also outlines the creation of a Digital Asset Stockpile for other cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA), all of which are to be acquired through forfeited assets. The U.S. government currently holds over $18 billion in seized bitcoin, with minimal holdings in other cryptocurrencies.
