United States of America: President signed executive order on establishment of the strategic Bitcoin Reserve and United States digital asset stockpile

On 6 March 2025, the President of the United States signed an executive order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a United States Digital Asset Stockpile. The order mandates the Secretary of the Treasury to create custodial accounts for all Bitcoin (BTC) held by the Department of the Treasury that are not required for other legal obligations. These reserves are to serve as strategic assets within the national wealth management strategy. Furthermore, the order outlines the administration's commitment to managing digital assets seized through asset forfeiture proceedings. The Secretary of the Treasury is also tasked with collaborating with the Secretary of Commerce to explore budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional BTC assets.
