United States establishes a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve

President Donald Trump ordered the creation of a reserve capitalized with federally held bitcoin that had been finally forfeited.

The order directed that reserve bitcoin should not be sold and required agencies to account for government digital assets. It allowed Treasury and Commerce to develop budget-neutral acquisition strategies, but it did not authorize unrestricted taxpayer-funded purchases or set a purchase schedule.
