US Reportedly Nears Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Announcement

Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Digital, asserts there is a strong likelihood the U.S. government will announce the formation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) before the end of 2025, a move that markets are currently underestimating. The initiative, rooted in a March executive order signed by President Trump, aims to treat Bitcoin as a sovereign asset akin to gold or oil reserves, consolidating seized Bitcoin into a formal government stockpile. Recent legislative activity, including a bill requiring the U.S. Treasury to evaluate the feasibility of the reserve, signals growing momentum behind the effort despite the absence of a detailed operational plan. Some experts caution that the formal launch might be delayed until 2026 as the government may prefer to accumulate Bitcoin discreetly before public announcement. The global context shows other countries like Kyrgyzstan and Indonesia advancing their own sovereign Bitcoin reserves, intensifying concerns that the U.S. must act swiftly to maintain leadership in digital asset strategy. This potential establishment of the SBR could mark a significant shift in official asset management and influence international approaches to cryptocurrency in national finance.
