According to a Polymarket survey, Donald Trump’s odds of endorsing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve within his first 100 days in office have surged to 56%. This has driven the value of the reserve token to $2.25, with a market cap exceeding $50 million.
Trump and his advisors advocate for positioning the U.S. as a cryptocurrency leader and plan to convert seized cryptocurrencies into reserves. The U.S. government currently holds 198,109 Bitcoin (worth over $21 billion).
The initiative could also include other U.S.-based cryptocurrencies like Solana, Cardano, and Ripple as part of a broader strategy to foster crypto innovation. However, political hurdles remain, as bipartisan support from Congress is needed to establish the reserve.
Support from Coinbase has amplified momentum, with CEO Brian Armstrong calling for pro-crypto policies, special economic zones, and blockchain adoption to drive economic freedom. While enthusiasm grows, success hinges on overcoming legislative challenges.
On his first day in office, Trump is expected to sign over 100 executive orders, including cryptocurrency directives, expanding AI programs, forming the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), and declassifying records related to President Kennedy’s assassination.
