Bitcoin and gold become the arsenal of US strategic reserves

President Trump signed an executive order on March 6, 2025 to establish strategic Bitcoin reserves and U.S. digital asset reserves under the Treasury Department. The reserve will hold about $20 billion of BTC seized through the forfeiture process, viewing Bitcoin as a strategic asset similar to gold. All administrative agencies must transfer digital assets into reserves within 30 days, aiming to regulate holdings and cope with global competition for state-supported digital currencies.
