U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order creating a U.S. cryptocurrency reserve, which will be funded with bitcoin seized by the federal government through criminal and legal proceedings. The move marks a significant step in integrating digital assets into the nation’s financial system.

The order signals a shift in U.S. policy toward cryptocurrency, though details on how the reserve will be managed remain unclear. Analysts speculate the reserve could be used to stabilize markets or support future government-backed digital currency initiatives.
