The United States government has launched the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, formally designating Bitcoin as a national reserve asset through an executive order signed by President Donald Trump.
This initiative marks a significant integration of Bitcoin into the official U.S. financial system. The newly established reserve is intended to function as a long-term store of value and to diversify the nation’s holdings of digital assets, positioning Bitcoin alongside traditional reserve assets such as gold and petroleum within U.S. financial strategy.
President Trump emphasized that the reserve will strategically capitalize on Bitcoin’s potential and will be sourced from forfeited holdings, aiming to harness the digital currency as a key component of national financial reserves. The move underscores the growing institutional acceptance and significant role Bitcoin is increasingly playing within global financial markets.
