Trump Establishes Strategic Bitcoin Reserve with Seized Assets

News Flash 2026-01-17 20:15

President Donald Trump has signed an Executive Order to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve using seized Bitcoin assets, aiming to position the U.S. as the "Crypto Capital of the World." The reserve, announced on March 7, 2025, will not involve taxpayer funds and is expected to influence Bitcoin and altcoin markets, with immediate price increases observed in SOL, ADA, and XRP. The initiative, led by David Sacks, the White House Crypto and AI Czar, mandates a comprehensive accounting of federal crypto holdings, emphasizing fiduciary management by the Treasury Department. This move aligns with Trump's campaign promise and could reshape the U.S. cryptocurrency landscape. Senator Cynthia Lummis plans to introduce legislation to formalize the reserve, proposing the purchase of one million Bitcoin over five years. This could significantly impact crypto regulations and market dynamics, with experts like Cathie Wood of ARK Invest predicting increased Bitcoin scarcity and value due to government acquisitions.
