This entry records an official signal, such as a speech or a statement. It does not change the law.

## What changed

The President directed the government to hold forfeited bitcoin in a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and other forfeited digital assets in a separate stockpile, subject to agency and Treasury implementation. The order governs federal holdings and is not an endorsement, suitability finding, or purchase mandate for private clients.

## Who it affects

- Federal agencies holding forfeited digital assets
- Advisers addressing client questions about government digital-asset policy

## What is still open

- Treasury’s custody, accounting, disposition, and reporting procedures
- Whether budget-neutral acquisition strategies will be pursued

## What it means for an advisor

- Keep client communications factual and avoid implying a federal guarantee or price support
- Monitor Treasury implementation for market, custody, and operational implications

## Previous interpretation

Forfeited federal digital assets were generally administered without a presidential reserve-and-stockpile framework.
