Trump's Strategic Bitcoin Reserve plan, signed into executive order in March 2025, uses ~200k seized BTC (valued at $17B) as a no-cost reserve asset, treating it as "digital gold" for hedging inflation. Feasibility: Legally viable via EO; economically symbolic but risky due to BTC volatility (e.g., 5% price drop post-announcement); economists unanimously oppose borrowing for it, citing no benefit to economy or reserves. Potential for future buys needs Congress.
