The White House has announced the establishment of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the United States Digital Asset Stockpile to secure and manage the nation’s holdings of Bitcoin and other digital assets. This announcement was made in an executive order on March 6.
On March 6, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile. According to BizTech, this initiative mandates that federal agencies retain cryptocurrency assets seized through law enforcement actions, rather than liquidating them. The move aims to bolster the digital assets industry by maintaining these assets as part of a national reserve.
According to WIRED, under the Trump administration, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has altered its approach to cryptocurrency regulation. The SEC has dismissed or paused several high-profile enforcement actions against major crypto firms, including Binance and Coinbase. This shift indicates a move toward a more crypto-friendly regulatory environment.
The White House, located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C., serves as the official residence and workplace of the President of the United States. Since its completion in 1800, it has been the home of every U.S. president, starting with John Adams. The White House complex includes the Executive Residence, the West Wing, the East Wing, and the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, which houses the offices of the President's staff and the Vice President.
