Cryptocurrency analysts expect that the United States may officially announce the formation of a strategic bitcoin reserve by the end of 2025. This was stated by Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Digital, who emphasized that the financial market underestimates the likelihood of such a move.

The White House and Congress Prepare Legislative Initiatives
In March, President Donald Trump signed an executive order regarding the creation of a strategic reserve of bitcoin and digital assets for the USA. However, it is noted that a comprehensive plan for this project is still in the works. Additionally, this week a bill appeared in Congress that mandates the U.S. Department of the Treasury to prepare a detailed technical report on the potential and possible risks of forming a national bitcoin reserve.
I still believe there is a high probability that the U.S. government will announce this year that it has formed a strategic bitcoin reserve (SBR) and officially holds BTC as a strategic asset
Against the backdrop of these initiatives, representatives of the Trump administration confirm that the White House has not lost interest in the idea of creating a strategic bitcoin reserve. Despite the fact that a recent political report only briefly mentioned digital assets, sources report that the project remains relevant.
Differences in Forecasts Regarding Timelines and Risks for the USA
Market experts disagree on the timing of the final decision. Former CoinRoutes CEO Dave Weisberger believes that an official announcement is only possible in 2026. He explains this by stating that the administration is acting pragmatically and is not rushing until priority issues are resolved.
At the same time, bitcoin advocates emphasize that delays could cost the USA its leadership in the field of digital assets. Jan3 founder Samson Mow noted in June that Washington risks falling behind other countries. In his opinion, if bitcoin purchases do not begin soon, “the risk is that Pakistan will get ahead of them.”
The situation is further exacerbated by the international context: several countries have already announced their intention to create their own national crypto reserves, and some are actively implementing relevant regulatory mechanisms.
Additionally, a bill regulating digital assets and establishing a national crypto reserve was recently passed in Kyrgyzstan, indicating a global trend in this direction.
