Bitcoin News Today: U.S. Establishes Strategic Bitcoin Reserve as Analysts Forecast $1 Million Price Target by 2025

The U.S. government has moved to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, a development that underscores the cryptocurrency’s growing role in global financial policy and highlights concerns over its extreme scarcity. According to recent reports, as of mid-2025, only 0.01% to 0.02% of the global population owns at least one Bitcoin, far below the perception of widespread accessibility. This consolidation of Bitcoin by the U.S. government is part of a broader trend where federal authorities are capturing Bitcoin as a strategic asset, with the initiative reportedly authorized by President Trump in March 2025 through an executive order [1].

The creation of the reserve has been framed as a formalized approach to digital currency management, moving beyond previous ad hoc handling of seized Bitcoin. This shift is expected to influence market dynamics, particularly investor sentiment and asset valuation. With major Bitcoin addresses already controlling a large portion of the total supply, the U.S. government’s involvement could further concentrate ownership and limit availability for retail investors [1].

Jeff Park, Head of Alpha Strategies at Bitwise Asset Management, suggested that the initiative could play a pivotal role in shaping Bitcoin’s price trajectory. He projected that if the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is sustained, Bitcoin could reach $1 million or more by 2025 [2]. This forecast is, however, conditional on continued government support and expansion of the reserve. Not all analysts share this optimism, with some cautioning about broader economic and regulatory risks associated with centralizing digital asset holdings [1].

The move aligns with broader institutional acceptance of Bitcoin, including the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in early 2024 and the authorization of banks to custody Bitcoin on behalf of clients. These developments signal a more structured and regulated financial infrastructure for digital assets [2]. From an economic perspective, some analysts view the U.S. strategy as a logical response to growing national debt and potential dollar devaluation, with companies reportedly considering Bitcoin as a strategic treasury asset [5]. Deutsche Bank has also commented on the economic implications, emphasizing the reserve’s potential to influence global financial markets [6].

Long-term implications of the U.S. reserve include shifts in how cryptocurrencies are managed and regulated at the institutional level. Historical trends suggest that centralization is intensifying, and government-backed formalization of Bitcoin handling could shape the future of digital asset markets. As the initiative evolves, its impact on price volatility, accessibility, and regulatory frameworks remains to be seen. The coming months will likely offer more clarity as the initiative’s economic ramifications unfold [1].
