U.S. Government Holdings $21.24 Billion in Crypto: Trump’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve

The U.S. government has confirmed it holds $21.24 billion worth of cryptocurrency, primarily Bitcoin and Ethereum, as of October 19, 2025. This move marks a significant shift from previous practices, with the US government establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve under President Trump’s administration. This initiative aims to position the U.S. as a crypto leader globally. The initial holdings stem from Executive Orders issued in March 2025 and focus on building a digital asset portfolio to influence global market dynamics.
