U.S. to Launch Bitcoin Reserve: A Major Shift in Fiscal Strategy

The U.S. government is set to launch its Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR), potentially revolutionizing national reserves and impacting financial markets worldwide. Senator Cynthia Lummis announced the initiation of the program, with the purchase process slated to begin after legislative steps are completed. This move comes on the heels of President Trump’s executive order from March 2025 to establish the SBR, leveraging existing Bitcoin holdings valued between $15 and $20 billion from the U.S. Treasury.
