On March 6, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, marking a historic move in the nation’s approach to digital assets.
The reserve will initially consist of confiscated Bitcoin and aims to serve as a long-term sovereign store of value. According to the executive directive, the initiative seeks to promote economic resilience, reinforce the U.S. position in crypto innovation, and prepare for a future where decentralized currencies play a larger economic role.
The program will be overseen by a federal crypto task force led by former PayPal executive David Sacks. In addition to Bitcoin, the group may later include other digital assets like Ethereum, Ripple, and Solana in separate reserve frameworks.
This move has sparked international discussion and could encourage other countries to pursue similar strategies in digital asset accumulation.
