David Sacks, the White House cryptocurrency czar, estimates these holdings now total around <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/feel-good-friday-bitcoin-plus-etf-pepe-airdrop-david-sacks\/\">200,000 Bitcoin<\/a>, currently valued at $16.7 billion. The executive order directs the U.S. Treasury Department to audit these assets and manage them as reserves, similarly to gold and foreign currencies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis Executive Order underscores President Trump\u2019s commitment to making the U.S. the \u2018crypto capital of the world,\u2019\u201d Sacks stated, further describing the initiative as a \u201cdigital Fort Knox.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_213431\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-213431\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-213431 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1741559427467376-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"910\" height=\"606\" srcset=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1741559427467376-1.png 910w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1741559427467376-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1741559427467376-1-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1741559427467376-1-50x33.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-213431\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(<a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Truth Social<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"text-body font-regular leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\">The order also goes a step further by tasking the Treasury and Commerce Departments with developing strategies for acquiring more Bitcoin. However, any purchases must be \u201cbudget-neutral,\u201d meaning they won\u2019t incur extra costs for taxpayers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCOVER:\u00a0<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/crypto-presales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The 12+ Hottest Crypto Presales to Buy Right Now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"font-bold text-body leading-[24px] pt-[12px] pb-[2px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px]\">Market Response to the Bitcoin Reserve Announcement<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-body font-regular leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\">The market reacted quickly to the news, and not entirely favorably. Bitcoin\u2019s price initially dipped to $84,713 following the announcement, only to recover slightly to around $88,982. Investors had been expecting a more aggressive buying strategy and were left disappointed by the lack of fresh purchasing power behind the plan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-body font-regular leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\">Altcoins saw similar trends.
