Part 6/13:
On March 6, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve. Unlike previous policies focused on liquidation, the new directive explicitly states that seized Bitcoin will be retained as national asset reserves rather than sold.
This strategic decision is rooted in the potential of Bitcoin as an "accelerated store of value" and a global financial asset. The current Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessant, articulated this shift publicly:
"We will cease selling and will continue to build and hold these assets."
