Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Eo 2025 event

Event · PageRank 0.0000

Overview

On 6 March 2025 President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a separate United States Digital Asset Stockpile. The reserve is capitalised with bitcoin already owned by the federal government that was finally forfeited in criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings or in satisfaction of civil money penalties; the order directs that this bitcoin shall not be sold and shall be held as a reserve asset, with narrow exceptions for court orders, victim restitution, law enforcement needs and statutory requirements. The Digital Asset Stockpile holds non-bitcoin digital assets acquired the same way. The order also directs the Treasury and Commerce Secretaries to develop budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional bitcoin at no incremental cost to taxpayers.
