The U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve was highlighted on March 6, 2025, following an executive order that outlines the management of government-held Bitcoin and permits the development of budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional holdings. The order does not establish an open-market purchasing program nor specify a target amount for new Bitcoin acquisitions.
This framework has focused attention on the potential role of government demand alongside institutional and corporate interest in Bitcoin. It also provides the policy context for the $1.5 million Bitcoin bull case scenario associated with Cathie Wood, as reported by TheStreet.
Jim Cramer says he was told President Trump is buying Bitcoin for the US strategic reserve during the crash this week.

The March 6 executive order establishes a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a separate United States Digital Asset Stockpile for government-held digital assets other than Bitcoin.
Under the order, the reserve is capitalized with Bitcoin held by the Treasury Department that has been finally forfeited through criminal or civil asset-forfeiture proceedings, or in satisfaction of certain civil money penalties. Agencies were directed to review their authority to transfer Government Bitcoin they hold to the reserve and report the results to the Treasury secretary.
Bitcoin deposited into the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is not to be sold and is to be maintained as a reserve asset of the United States, subject to applicable law. The order describes Bitcoin as having a permanently capped supply of 21 million coins and notes that the government holds a significant amount of BTC, without providing a total holdings figure.
Authority to Explore Additional Bitcoin Acquisition
The order directs the Secretaries of the Treasury and Commerce to develop strategies for acquiring additional Government Bitcoin. Those strategies must be budget-neutral and must not impose incremental costs on U.S. taxpayers.

The accompanying White House fact sheet likewise states that Treasury and Commerce are authorized to develop budget-neutral acquisition strategies. The directive addresses strategy development; it does not identify a purchase amount, schedule, or acquisition method.
The executive order treats the non-Bitcoin stockpile differently. It states that the government will not acquire additional stockpile assets beyond those obtained through forfeiture proceedings or civil money penalties without further executive or legislative action. The Treasury secretary may determine stewardship strategies for that stockpile, including potential sales.
ARK’s Bitcoin Framework and Market Context
TheStreet reported that ARK Invest’s multi-scenario Bitcoin framework places its 2030 base case near $730,000 to $750,000 and its bull case at $1.5 million. The report described the bull case as resting on institutional adoption, Bitcoin’s fixed supply, and its emergence as a legitimate digital store of value.
Bitcoin’s 21 million-coin supply cap is stated in the executive order. The order also notes that a fixed supply creates a strategic advantage for nations that are among the first to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve. These statements explain why the reserve’s acquisition authority is relevant to the discussion of Bitcoin demand, even though the order does not set out an active buying program.
Bitcoin (BTC)24h7d30d1yAll time
Bitcoin is trading above $75,000 at the time of writing, after trading below $65,000 four days earlier. Most news confirmed that Bitcoin was also traded near $35,000 four years earlier before reaching $126,000 in October 2025. Those figures provide context for the scale of a $1.5 million long-term bull case, but they do not establish a future outcome.
