TD₿: Unpacking the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (a Swan Signal Live video) with Lyn Alden
TL;DR: The historic U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve signed into an executive order by President Trump last night. Nation state FOMO and the start of a Bitcoin acquisition arms race has started!
Hey Bitcoiners,
The White House has officially established the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) through an executive order, marking a historic milestone for Bitcoin. The order ensures that the U.S. government will hold and stop selling its Bitcoin holdings while making a clear distinction between Bitcoin and other digital assets.
Unlike initial speculation, the order excludes altcoins like XRP and Ethereum, reinforcing Bitcoin’s status as a true reserve asset. Additionally, the Treasury and Commerce Departments have been instructed to explore budget-neutral methods to acquire more Bitcoin, which could involve forfeited assets, government surplus sales, or the Exchange Stabilization Fund.
The financialization of Bitcoin is inevitable, but it also strengthens its security, liquidity, and mainstream adoption. The order also highlights Bitcoin’s fixed supply and digital gold status, further legitimizing its role in global finance. As the U.S. leads the way, other nations may now feel pressured to front-run this adoption, potentially triggering a nation-state Bitcoin accumulation race.
With the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve now a reality, the world has entered a new phase where Bitcoin is no longer just an outsider asset—it is now formally recognized by one of the most powerful governments on the planet. The global implications of this move will unfold in the months and years ahead, shaping Bitcoin’s future as a legitimate global reserve asset.
