It was only a matter of time.
President Trump signed an executive order earlier this year establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile. The idea? Protect national security and hedge against currency devaluation by holding one of the scarcest assets on Earth.
The reserve is to be managed by a newly formed Digital Reserve Committee with custody handled by Coinbase. The U.S. already controls over 200,000 BTC from seizures, giving it a larger stack than almost every nation-state.
No sales allowed. No funny business. This isn’t a trading fund—it’s a vault.
As the U.S. doubles down, other governments are likely to follow suit. What we’re witnessing is the financial weaponization of Bitcoin on a geopolitical stage.
