Published Date: 3/11/2025
Presidential Document
Summary
The U.S. government is creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a Digital Asset Stockpile to better manage and protect its digital money, especially Bitcoin. Agencies must review and transfer their Bitcoin holdings to this reserve within 30 days, and the government won’t sell these assets but will use them strategically. This move aims to boost America’s financial power using digital assets starting right now.
