President Trump has established a new U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve through an executive order, consolidating existing holdings without acquiring more Bitcoin. This move marks a significant shift in the U.S.’s approach to digital assets and their strategic role. 2025 saw the formal establishment of this reserve, with the Treasury Secretary tasked with managing these newly consolidated holdings. The reserve’s creation reflects growing institutional interest in Bitcoin and its potential as a stabilizing force in times of economic uncertainty. The order signifies a move away from previous practices like asset auctions, drawing parallels to traditional reserves such as gold or petroleum.
