Trump Explores National Bitcoin Stockpile, Bans US Digital Currency

January 24, 2025

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an Executive Order directing his administration to assess the possibility of creating a “national digital asset stockpile.” This is alongside the formation of the new Presidential Working Group on Digital Asset Markets.

The Executive Order seeks to establish federal regulations for digital assets, including stablecoins, but stops short of immediately creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve.

Additionally, the Executive Order suggests that the national digital asset stockpile could be formed from cryptocurrency assets legally seized by the federal government during law enforcement operations.
