Priority Announcement: US Confirms Bitcoin Strategic Reserve & Digital Asset Stockpile

Hi Reader,

In the last hour, Donald Trump has signed an executive order which establishes 2 things:

1. Strategic US Bitcoin Reserve
2. Digital Asset Stockpile

‍

1. Strategic US Bitcoin Reserve

The key difference is that the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve will use the existing 200,000 bitcoin already held by the US government as its foundation, and pledges not to sell them. In addition, the US government may look for budget neutral ways to acquire additional bitcoin. However, it must not cost the taxpayer more money to acquire e.g., the US government will not print money to buy bitcoin, but it could buy more if it is able to cut costs in the budget elsewhere or re-direct existing budget spend towards bitcoin that would otherwise have been spent elsewhere.

‍

2. Digital Asset Stockpile

The digital asset stockpile will be comprised of other non-bitcoin digital assets, e.g., Solana, XRP, Cardano, Ethereum. These tokens will only be acquired and held by the US government if they are seized or forfeited through criminal or civil proceedings. Strictly speaking, the US government does not plan to acquire more of these assets but can and will hold any it obtains as part of a stockpile.
