Bitcoin News Today: Reserve Rules Set Scope for Government Demand

The U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve made news on March 6, 2025, with an executive order that sets out how government-held Bitcoin may be managed and permits the development of budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional Bitcoin.

The order does not establish an open-market purchasing program or specify an amount of additional Bitcoin to be acquired.That framework has kept attention on the role that government demand could play alongside institutional and corporate interest in Bitcoin.

It also provides the policy context for the $1.5 million Bitcoin bull case associated with Cathie Wood in reporting by TheStreet. Jim Cramer says he was told President Trump is buying Bitcoin for the US strategic reserve during the crash this week.
