Trump has signed a new executive order to establish the country's cryptocurrency reserve. This reserve will contain approximately 200,000 Bitcoin. The information was provided by David Sacks, the U.S. Special Representative for Artificial Intelligence and Cryptocurrencies.
The reserve will primarily be formed from Bitcoin assets confiscated by the U.S. Treasury Department during various criminal and civil cases. According to the document, these Bitcoins will not be sold and will be stored long-term.
Trump's order also includes the creation of a U.S. digital asset reserve. Other cryptocurrencies will be included, but the full list has not been disclosed.
Previously, Donald Trump was against Bitcoin. In 2021, he called it a "scam." However, during his 2024 election campaign, he changed his stance, stating that cryptocurrency is essential for the U.S.
On March 2, 2025, Trump announced that the U.S. strategic cryptocurrency reserve would include XRP, SOL, and ADA. Later, he clarified that the foundation of the reserve would be Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). This move by the U.S. government indicates its intention to strengthen its position in the cryptocurrency market.
