Will Donald Trump Create a Bitcoin Reserve Tomorrow?

Published by

As President Donald Trump marks his first 100 days back in office with a rally hosted by Securing American Greatness, excitement is growing around whether he will take a historic step by officially adding Bitcoin to the United States’ financial reserves. According to prediction market Polymarket, there is currently a 6% chance that Trump will announce a Bitcoin reserve before the 100-day milestone ends tomorrow.

This speculation follows recent comments from U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, who appeared on Bitcoin Magazine to discuss the administration’s evolving stance on digital assets. Lutnick opened up about a strong shift away from the previous administration’s restrictive approach to cryptocurrency, saying, “Under Biden, it was treated like you were doing something wrong… That’s over now.”

Treating Bitcoin Like Gold

Lutnick said that the Trump administration sees Bitcoin not as a currency, but as a commodity, similar to gold or oil. “There’s only so much of it,” he explained. “Bitcoin is like gold to me… It should be treated like a commodity.”

He added that once the U.S. formally accepts Bitcoin as a commodity, it could open the door for widespread use, including buying, selling, and holding it as an asset, just like gold. “No one stops someone from selling oil or gold,” he said. “Bitcoin should be the same.”

Potential Role in Trade and GDP

Lutnick also revealed that the Bureau of Economic Analysis is exploring the idea of treating Bitcoin similarly to gold in economic statistics, such as trade balances and GDP. While he didn’t confirm any official plans, he said it’s “a good idea” that is under consideration.

The Commerce Secretary emphasized the importance of making government data more transparent, hinting that new classifications could emerge to help Americans understand how Bitcoin fits into national economic metrics.

Strategic Bitcoin Reserve?

Although Lutnick didn’t confirm whether the U.S. already holds Bitcoin in a strategic reserve, he did mention that discussions are ongoing. “When the administration wants to come out with those answers, we will,” he said, but declined to provide details on holdings or key management.

He reiterated that Bitcoin remains on the administration’s agenda and praised Trump’s commitment to supporting the crypto community. “Trump promised to support Bitcoin, and he’s delivered,” Lutnick stated. “After tackling trade and global peace efforts, Bitcoin will definitely be back on the agenda.”
