Among the many expectations in the crypto world community, the most anticipated is undoubtedly when the United States will be able to implement the 'BTC Strategic Reserve'? According to a previous report by Dongqu, if Trump wants to implement the BTC strategic reserve, he should immediately instruct the Cryptocurrency Committee to conduct policy research and feasibility assessments after taking office, complete the proposal, and then proceed through two paths: Path 1: Trump directly issues an executive order, as it can bypass resistance from conservative and opposing forces such as the Federal Reserve and Congress. Referring to the draft provided by the 'BTC Policy Research Institute,' it instructs the U.S. Treasury to directly allocate BTC using the forex stabilization fund (ESF), which could be implemented as early as the second half of 2025. Path 2: If it is passed through a more stable legislative path, it will require a longer process. After the Cryptocurrency Committee conducts policy research and feasibility assessments, the bill needs to be submitted to Congress and reviewed by the Senate Banking Committee, and then passed by the Senate, House of Representatives, and signed by the President before it can be formally enacted. Although this path can obtain a durable and stable bill, it will take a long time, and it is not possible to be implemented until at least the second half of 2026 to 2027.
