President Trump has officially signed an executive order this morning to establish the U.S. BTC Strategic Reserve and Digital Asset Reserve. The White House has now released the full text of the executive order, and here are the details: Executive Order by the President: Establishing Strategic BTC Reserve and U.S. Digital Asset Reserve In exercise of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, I hereby order: Article I: Background BTC (Bitcoin) is the original cryptocurrency. The BTC protocol permanently sets the total supply limit of BTC (BTC) at 21 million coins and has never been hacked. Therefore, due to its scarcity and security, BTC is often referred to as 'digital gold.' Since the supply of BTC is fixed, the country that establishes a strategic BTC reserve early will gain a strategic advantage. The U.S. government currently holds a large amount of BTC but has not formulated a clear policy to maximize BTC's unique store of value asset's strategic position in the global financial system. Just as managing other national resources is crucial to national interests, our country must harness the power of digital assets to promote prosperity rather than restrict it. Article II: Policy The U.S. government will establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The U.S. government will establish the United States Digital Asset Stockpile as a secure account responsible for the orderly and strategic management of other digital assets held by the U.S. government. Article III: Establishment and Management of Strategic BTC Reserve and U.S. Digital Asset Reserve Strategic BTC Reserve Establishment and Management The Secretary of the Treasury shall establish a dedicated office responsible for managing and controlling the strategic BTC reserve, which shall include: BTC ultimately confiscated by the Department of the Treasury (including BTC confiscated in criminal or civil forfeiture cases and as part of any punishment by any agency without having to meet the requirements of 31 U.S.C. §9705). Within 30 days, all federal agencies shall review their authority to transfer BTC to the strategic BTC reserve and submit a report to the Secretary of the Treasury. BTC in the strategic BTC reserve shall not be sold but held as a reserve asset for the United States to achieve government objectives. United States Digital Asset Reserve Establishment and Management The Secretary of the Treasury shall establish a dedicated office responsible for managing the U.S. digital asset reserve, which shall include: All non-BTC digital assets ultimately confiscated by the Department of the Treasury (including digital assets confiscated in criminal or civil forfeiture cases). Within 30 days, all federal agencies shall review their authority to transfer these assets to the U.S. digital asset reserve and submit a report to the Secretary of the Treasury. The Secretary of the Treasury shall develop responsible policies to manage these digital assets in compliance with legal regulations. Government BTC Additional Acquisition The Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of Commerce shall develop a strategy that does not require additional budget and does not increase costs to U.S. taxpayers to acquire more government BTC. The U.S. government will not acquire other digital assets outside of BTC without additional executive or legislative action (unless from criminal or civil forfeiture proceedings or as part of punishment). Government Digital Asset Disposal Government Digital Assets include: Government BTC. Assets in the U.S. digital asset reserve (Stockpile Assets). Heads of agencies shall not sell or dispose of government digital assets unless: The Secretary of the Treasury is responsible for managing the U.S. digital asset reserve under (b). Compliance with court orders or legal requirements. The Attorney General or other relevant agency head determines assets or funds should be: Returned to crime victims. Used for law enforcement actions. Equitably shared with state and local law enforcement agencies. Used to meet the statutory requirements of 31 U.S.C. 9705, 28 U.S.C. 524(c), 18 U.S.C. 981, or 21 U.S.C. 881. Strategic Assessment Within 60 days, the Secretary of the Treasury shall submit a report assessing the legal and investment considerations of the strategic BTC reserve and U.S. digital asset reserve, including: Where reserves should be held? Whether additional legislation is needed to ensure proper management and operation? Article IV: Asset Inventory Within 30 days, all federal agencies shall submit a complete inventory of government digital assets to the Secretary of the Treasury and the President's Working Group on Digital Asset Markets, including: Currently held government digital assets. Custodial account information for these assets to be transferred to the strategic BTC reserve or U.S. digital asset reserve. If an agency does not hold any digital assets, they shall confirm this fact and report it to the Secretary of the Treasury and the President's Working Group on Digital Asset Markets. Article V: General Provisions This order shall not affect the following: Legitimate authorities of any executive department or agency or its heads. Responsibilities of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget in budget, administrative, or legislative proposals. Implementation of this order shall comply with applicable law and depend on the availability of government budgets. This order shall not create any legally enforceable rights or interests, including legal claims against the U.S. government and its departments, agencies, officials, employees, or agents.
