Trump’s Bitcoin Reserve Order and the Impact on Trump Crypto Summit Time
The Trump Crypto Summit follows an executive order signed on March 6 that established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a Digital Asset Stockpile. This decision has sparked debate within the industry.
The US Bitcoin reserve currently consists of seized BTC, with no confirmation of additional purchases. Some industry leaders expected the US government to acquire more Bitcoin, but the order did not specify new acquisitions.
Trump’s Bitcoin Reserve Plan: Market Reactions and Sell-Side Pressure Impact
10x Research noted that expectations were different, stating,
“Although additional measures could be announced later, the latest development highlights the significant gap between an ideal scenario and the actual policy rollout.”
The firm assessed the risk of market disappointment as higher than the likelihood of a broadly bullish outcome. According to their analysis, the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve mainly formalizes the U.S. government’s indefinite holding of confiscated Bitcoin, rather than signaling new acquisitions. 10x Research also estimated that the actual Bitcoin allocation could be 50% lower than suggested in public discussions, leaving uncertainty around the reserve’s true size and long-term strategy.
Meanwhile, Coinbase’s Conor Grogan estimated that Trump’s order removed at least $18 billion in sell-side pressure, preventing a potential large-scale liquidation of confiscated BTC.
With the Trump Crypto Summit time nearing, industry leaders and officials will gather at the White House to discuss Bitcoin reserves, digital asset policies, and regulatory frameworks. The event will shape the government’s stance on crypto, while market participants await clarity on future acquisitions and long-term strategies for the US Bitcoin Reserve.
