Trump Announces “Bitcoin Reserve”

U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed plans to establish a strategic crypto reserve, aiming to make the United States the „Bitcoin capital of the world.“ In a statement on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump listed specific cryptocurrencies that will be part of this reserve, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA).

This announcement led to a significant surge in cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin rose by about 8% to over $92,000, while Ethereum gained 9%. At one point, Bitcoin was up more than 10%, all within a few hours. Ripple is currently up more than 23%.

Trump’s decision to establish such a reserve marks a major shift in the U.S. government’s stance toward digital assets. While the previous administration often viewed cryptocurrencies with skepticism, the current government is signaling active support for the industry. This move could accelerate institutional acceptance and strengthen the U.S.’s leadership in the realm of digital innovations.

Creation of a Sovereign Wealth Fund
On February 3, 2025, the U.S. President initiated the creation of a Sovereign Wealth Fund through an Executive Order. The goal is to secure long-term financial stability, reduce the tax burden, and enhance the U.S.’s competitiveness. The fund is expected to be financed through profits from government holdings, commodity revenues, and strategic investments. Critics fear political influence, but the government sees it as an opportunity for debt reduction and innovation promotion. Particularly noteworthy: A potential Bitcoin investment is being discussed. The coming months will determine whether the plan can be successfully implemented.
