In March 2025, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to establish a national reserve including Bitcoin and several altcoins.
Creation of Cryptocurrency Reserve
President Donald Trump signed an executive order creating a national Bitcoin (BTC) reserve in March 2025. This reserve includes not only Bitcoin but also altcoins like Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), XRP, and Cardano (ADA). The reserve will be formed from cryptocurrencies seized by the government, and no new assets will be purchased.
Events Surrounding Uranium Finance
The hacking attack on the Uranium Finance protocol occurred in April 2021, resulting in millions of dollars being stolen. In 2025, US authorities seized $31 million linked to this attack. Recently, the government wallet received 76.56 ETH, worth approximately $332,000, from Coinbase. These funds are related to asset recovery following the attack.
Overall Balance and Contents of Government Wallet
Currently, the US government wallet holds 1,358 ETH valued at about $5.83 million. In addition to Ethereum, this wallet contains several other digital tokens, bringing the total to approximately $34.71 million.
The president's order establishing a national cryptocurrency reserve and efforts to recover stolen assets highlight the growing interest and development of the cryptocurrency market in the US.
