The U.S. government may convert seized digital assets into 5,000 BTC as part of its Strategic Bitcoin Reserve under Trump’s executive order. Onchain data confirms holdings in ETH, BNB, and stablecoins, but no evidence of XRP, SOL, or ADA. Stay updated on this developing crypto policy shift.
Trump’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Digital Asset Stockpile Take Shape
The U.S. government may soon convert seized digital assets into 5,000 BTC as part of its Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, following an executive order signed by former President Donald Trump. While the order officially established a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, blockchain records suggest the federal government currently holds no XRP, SOL, or ADA, despite speculation.
Government Crypto Holdings Under Scrutiny
Following Trump’s executive order, David Sacks, the administration’s Crypto Czar, clarified that the U.S. government will not sell any bitcoin it has acquired. Instead, all non-BTC assets seized in criminal or civil cases will be managed within the newly formed Digital Asset Stockpile.
However, Sacks also confirmed that the government will not actively acquire new crypto assets beyond what it confiscates. This raises questions about reports suggesting federal holdings of XRP, SOL, and ADA, as onchain data and public records show no official seizures of these assets.
Onchain Data Confirms U.S. Government Crypto Reserves
According to Arkham Intelligence, as of March 9, 2025, the U.S. government holds a significant amount of confiscated cryptocurrency, including:
- 198,000 BTC ($16.26B)
- 60,850 ETH ($122.96M) – Potential conversion: 1,522 BTC
- 122M USDT – Potential conversion: 1,500 BTC
- 750.722 WBTC ($61.69M)
- 40,293 BNB ($22.34M) – Potential conversion: 276 BTC
- $13.62M BUSD – Potential conversion: 168 BTC
- $13.40M AUSDC – Potential conversion: 166 BTC
If all non-BTC assets were liquidated at current market rates, the U.S. government could acquire approximately 5,004 BTC.
Implications for the Crypto Market
The government’s approach to its crypto holdings could impact market stability. If the Digital Asset Stockpile reallocates assets into BTC, it may drive further accumulation of bitcoin by the U.S. government. However, the absence of XRP, SOL, and ADA from official holdings contradicts speculation about their inclusion.
With increasing government involvement in crypto, market watchers will closely monitor how the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve evolves.
