Simply final week, President Donald Trump signed an government order to create a federal strategic Bitcoin reserve. The reserve is to be made up of confiscated bitcoin by the federal authorities from hacks and seizures, creating an estimated reserve of about 200,000 BTC, pending an official audit. Nevertheless, this reserve, because it stands, has the potential to be overturned by future presidential administrations. Laws just like the Bitcoin Act of 2025 would remedy this potential challenge as it might see the USA buy 200,000 bitcoin per 12 months till it has purchased a complete of 1,000,000 BTC — to be held for no less than 20 years.
$115 billion asset supervisor VanEck claims that this strategic bitcoin reserve “may assist offset nationwide debt”, stating that “if the U.S. authorities follows the BITCOIN Act’s proposed path – accumulating 1 million BTC by 2029 – our evaluation suggests this reserve may offset round $21 trillion of nationwide debt by 2049.”
