US creates Strategic Bitcoin Reserve

President Trump signs an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a US Digital Asset Stockpile. The BTC reserve is funded by the Treasury’s forfeited bitcoin — estimated at ~200,000 BTC, making the US the largest known sovereign holder. The order states the US will not sell. Days later, Senator Lummis reintroduces the BITCOIN Act to purchase 1,000,000 BTC over five years. The nation whose dollar underpins the petrodollar now holds the asset designed to be its antithesis.
