Trump Just Went Full DeFi Bro – U.S. Gov Flexes Its $17B Bitcoin Bag
Okay, this one’s wild. On March 6th, 2025, President Donald Trump pulled a major crypto power move—he signed an executive order that basically told every U.S. federal agency: “Show me the crypto.”
Yup, the U.S. just officially launched a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve and a digital asset stockpile. TL;DR: they’re now treating crypto like oil or gold. And that’s not even the craziest part.
Here’s the real tea 🍵:
🔹 The whole U.S. government had until April 5th (today) to spill the beans on exactly how much crypto they’re holding.
🔹 First big number to drop? Over 198,000 BTC, worth around $16.38B, according to Arkham.
🔹 Crypto czar David Sacks says it could be closer to $17B, but tbh, they never ran a full audit so it’s a best guess.
And the portfolio? It’s stacked:
- 198,012 BTC
- 122M+ USDT
- 59.9K ETH (~$107M)
- 750 WBTC (~$61.8M)
- 40.2K BNB (~$23.86M)
But wait—it’s not just Bitcoin. Trump posted on Truth Social back on March 2nd that the crypto reserve will also include Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA). It’s giving big altcoin energy.
And here’s what this all might mean:
If these bags are confirmed, the market could go full bull mode—like, quick. Even though crypto’s been down ~7% this month, this level of transparency + bullish policy could help the market bounce back hard.
Oh, and don’t forget—Trump’s also out here starting a global tariff war. So yeah, things are heating up fast both in traditional and digital markets.
Bottom line: U.S. isn’t just watching crypto anymore—they’re stacking it. With Trump leading the charge, crypto might just be going mainstream for real.
