Bitcoin Tumbles ~5% as Trump Signs Executive Order to Establish Strategic Bitcoin Reserve

US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve, US media reported.

Cryptocurrency prices caved under pressure.

According to CoinDesk data, Bitcoin last sank by 4.7% to US$85,841, while Ether (ETH) plunged by 5.4% to US$2,116.

White House Crypto and AI Czar David Sacks said that the reserve will be funded by Bitcoin seized in criminal and civil cases, ensuring that taxpayers do not bear any financial burden.

It is estimated that the US government currently controls about 200,000 Bitcoins, but has never conducted a comprehensive audit.

Trump's executive order calls for a full accounting of federal digital asset holdings and the prohibition of the sale of Bitcoin from the reserve.

In addition, it requires the establishment of a US digital asset vault managed by the Treasury Department to hold other seized cryptocurrencies.
