Strategic Bitcoin Reserve refers to a proposed initiative where the U.S. government would establish a stockpile of Bitcoin to strengthen national economic interests. In January 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to explore the creation of a national digital asset stockpile, potentially utilizing cryptocurrencies seized by the government. Currently, the federal government holds approximately 200,000 bitcoins, valued at about $21 billion. Senator Cynthia Lummis has proposed legislation for the Treasury to acquire an additional 200,000 bitcoins annually over five years, aiming for a total reserve of one million bitcoins. Proponents argue that such a reserve could enhance the U.S. position in the global Bitcoin market, reduce the national deficit, and provide a hedge against inflation. However, critics highlight concerns over Bitcoin's volatility, lack of intrinsic value, and susceptibility to cyberattacks, questioning the prudence of establishing a strategic reserve.
