Establishment of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and United States Digital Asset Stockpile

On March 6, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a United States Digital Asset Stockpile. This initiative aims to consolidate and manage digital assets, including Bitcoin, held by the government, primarily acquired through forfeiture proceedings. The move could enhance the U.S.'s strategic position in the global financial system, but it may also raise legal and political questions regarding the management and acquisition of digital assets without additional legislative approval.
