The #Bitcoin Policy Institute has drafted the executive order to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve under the United States Treasury’s Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF).

The draft aims to position Bitcoin as a national strategic asset for the U.S. under President Donald Trump. The proposed order outlines measures to ensure the United States remains competitive in the evolving global digital economy. Notably, this policy requires approval and signing after Donald Trump’s inauguration to take effect.

Details of The Bitcoin Reserve and Policy Objectives

The executive order emphasizes integrating Bitcoin into the U.S. financial system to strengthen economic security and global leadership.

According to the draft, Bitcoin’s decentralized and limited supply characteristics make it a valuable asset comparable to digital gold. The proposal recommends designating Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset within the ESF to diversify holdings, attract innovation, and promote domestic industry growth.

Under the draft’s provisions, the Treasury Secretary would oversee the creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR), with an allocation of $521 billion for Bitcoin acquisition.

The proposal mandates that all Bitcoin held by federal agencies, such as the U.S. Marshals Service, be consolidated into the SBR within seven days of the order’s issuance. Notably, it prohibits the sale of any Bitcoin from this period.

Additionally, the draft directs the Treasury to implement a detailed acquisition plan within 60 days to establish the United States as a global leader in Bitcoin holdings and innovation.
