Trump Signs Executive Order Establishing U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, marking a substantial move towards Bitcoin gaining broader acceptance. With this new directive, the U.S. Government will maintain approximately 200,000 seized bitcoins without selling them. The executive order requires a comprehensive audit of government bitcoin holdings, which have never undergone a full audit. Additionally, the order establishes a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile for other seized cryptocurrencies, specifying that no further assets will be acquired outside of forfeiture proceedings.
