Donald Trump’s administration is considering using revenue from customs duties to purchase bitcoins, which could be a new step in the formation of a strategic cryptocurrency reserve in the United States. This approach would allow the government to buy Bitcoin BTC $104,085.19 Bitcoin 0.25% Market capitalization $2.07 trillion VOL. 24 hours $2.1 billion without raising additional funds from the budget or raising taxes. The proposal comes amid a 25% drop in the value of bitcoin from its peak, which analysts see as a potentially favorable time to buy.
In March 2025, President Trump signed an executive order to create a national reserve of digital assets, including existing cryptocurrencies on the government’s balance sheet. He also instructed the Ministers of Commerce and Treasury to develop a budget-neutral strategy for further purchases of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin.
At the same time, Senator Cynthia Lummis is promoting the Bitcoin Act of 2025, which provides for a revision of the value of US gold certificates. She believes that their valuation today does not correspond to the market price of gold. According to her, correcting this imbalance will free up additional funds for the purchase of bitcoins and the formation of a strategic reserve.
Amid these developments, Bitcoin is showing signs of recovery. Currently, its value is about $ 85,350, and the market capitalization has reached $ 169 trillion. The price is holding above $ 84,000 and the 100-hour simple moving average, and is forming an uptrend line with support at $ 85,200. This indicates buyer activity.
In the short term, Bitcoin faces resistance at $ 85,800 and $ 87,200. If these levels are broken through, further growth to $ 90,000 is likely, which confirms market participants' expectations for the next phase of the bullish trend.
