The price of bitcoin has surged close to its record high of $112,000, rising about 50% since April lows. The increase comes as the U.S. government signals major decisions impacting cryptocurrency, with an expected White House announcement adding to the activity.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order earlier this year to create a strategic bitcoin reserve for the United States. According to Bo Hines, executive director of the presidential council of advisers on digital assets, the specific structure of this reserve will be revealed soon. Hines told podcaster Scott Melker that the update will arrive in “short order.”
In the same timeframe, Elon Musk supported a high-profile bitcoin outlook and warned about a potential $40 trillion collapse in U.S. dollar value, as reported by Forbes. Despite economic warnings described as a "$37 trillion ticking time bomb," the price of bitcoin has continued its upward trend. Hines said, “When we’re ready to announce that, which I’m sure will be in short order, I think that this community will be extremely pleased.”
At the 2024 Bitcoin conference in Nashville, Trump first promised a bitcoin reserve if elected. He formally fulfilled this commitment in March. Currently, the U.S. holds about 200,000 bitcoin and is exploring ways to increase its holdings without additional tax spending. Proposals include using tariff revenue and revaluing Gold certificates held by the government.
Last week, Hines visited El Salvador, a country that has purchased 6,000 bitcoin for its national reserve, and met with President Nayib Bukele to discuss cooperation on digital assets. Stacy Herbert, director of the Salvadoran bitcoin office, told Coindesk they discussed shared interests related to bitcoin and stablecoins, which are digital assets tied to the value of a national currency.
During the 2025 Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas, Senator Cynthia Lummis stated Trump supports her “Bitcoin Act.” The proposal would see the U.S. acquire 1 million bitcoin over five years, using funds from the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department (more details can be found on Cointelegraph).
Officials and observers await the formal announcement on the bitcoin reserve’s architecture, anticipating possible shifts in global digital asset strategies.
