Five Key Moves in March the White House Has Made for Crypto
President Donald Trump hosted a meeting with crypto leaders at the White House, signaling a major policy shift and a bid to position the U.S. as the "crypto capital" of the world. Trump's executive order establishes a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and prohibits the government from selling Bitcoin. The reserve will initially be funded with 198,100 bitcoins valued at $16.7 billion from civil and criminal asset forfeitures. The move could set a precedent for other nations to have sovereign crypto holdings funded by law enforcement actions. The administration plans to integrate stablecoins to balance traditional finance with crypto innovation, but this raises concerns about regulatory oversight and financial stability. Additionally, the executive order differentiates Bitcoin from other digital assets and suggests adding XRP, Solana, and Cardano to the United States Digital Asset Stockpile. The reserve is expected to operate as a "digital Fort Knox" with no taxpayer funds used for acquiring digital assets.
