US Treasury Targets Bitcoin And XRP Growth—Big Win For Crypto?

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

David Sacks, the White House’s crypto czar, has disclosed the intentions of the Treasury Department to concentrate on increasing the value of Bitcoin, XRP, and other digital assets that the US government owns. This, after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to establish a strategic reserve of cryptocurrencies by using tokens already held by the government.

Major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA) have been greenlit for inclusion into the reserves under this initiative. The announcement emphasizes the government’s will to improve its national financial posture in the rapidly changing digital asset space.

The Crypto Reserve In Motion

One of the measures toward bringing virtual currencies into the government financial system is the Crypto Strategic Reserve. By including the above mentioned cryptocurrencies, the government wants to diversify national assets and support advances in financial technology. This move suggests that the probable economic impact of digital currencies is beginning to be more defined.

The Function Of The Treasury In Management Of Crypto

Sacks has gone into great lengths on how the Treasury Department plans to manage the Bitcoin holdings and raise their value. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will oversee this endeavor. The approach emphasizes prudent management to maximize the potential returns from these digital assets.

According to Sacks, during the All In Podcast, the purpose of the stockpile is “responsible stewardship.” He pointed out that it is “a place for safekeeping, it’s a centralized account under the direction of the secretary of the Treasury and the secretary of the Treasury will figure out how to maximize the value of these holdings.”

To put it in perspective, the federal government’s failure to fully utilize its Bitcoin assets resulted in a loss of $17 billion. Sacks claims that the government used to own over 400,000 Bitcoin tokens. But it has sold off more than half of its holdings in the last decade for slightly more than $350 million.

Market Response

The introduction of the Crypto Strategic Reserve has elicited a range of responses from the cryptocurrency market. Initially, the disclosure caused the values of the related cryptocurrencies to rise sharply.

As of today, the market cap of cryptocurrencies stood at $2.6 trillion. Chart: TradingView

Market euphoria was, however, dampened by later comments that the reserve would primarily consist of assets obtained through forfeitures, with no immediate intentions for new acquisitions. For example, Bitcoin experienced a 5% decline, ultimately falling below the crucial $80,000 level, while Ethereum and XRP fell 3% and 4% apiece.

Congressional Viewpoints Regarding The Initiative

The feasibility and implementation of the proposal have prompted discussions within Congress. Chairman Tim Scott of the House Banking Committee recommended a cautious approach, stating that a delay is necessary until Congress is more adequately equipped to address the intricacies of incorporating cryptocurrencies into national reserves.
