Trump still hasn’t given up on adding more $BTC to the national reserve
President Trump still hopes to establish a national Bitcoin reserve. According to a former White House crypto adviser, Trump has not given up on adding more $BTC , and the administration has repeatedly discussed how to make it happen.
The U.S. $BTC reserve was established in March 2025 and initially consisted only of Bitcoin seized in criminal cases. The Treasury Department was tasked with finding ways to add more, provided it did not increase costs for taxpayers.
But the Trump administration still needs Congress’s approval on two fronts:
First, the authority to buy more. Congress controls government spending, so Trump may not be able to buy $BTC on his own. His team is looking for a way to make the plan legally secure, fearing that if they buy first, Congress could pass a law banning it outright.
Second, long-term holdings. For the reserve to be sustainable, Congress must approve it as law. If it relies only on Trump’s executive order, a successor could eliminate it with a single decision.
Neither step will be easy while Congress remains deeply divided along party lines—especially now that the Democrats control both chambers following the midterm elections.
In the market, $BTC is currently around 73,831 USDT, down 0.69% over 24 hours, and still struggling around the 73,500 support level after dipping to 72,727 overnight.
Do you think the U.S. Bitcoin reserve can become law before this term ends?
