The post U.S. Crypto Holdings Under the Microscope: What Happened to Trump’s 30-Day Bitcoin Reserve Report? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
It’s been over a month since U.S. President Donald Trump signed a major executive order to set up a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a Digital Asset Stockpile, but the public is still waiting on the next big step, the full disclosure of the government’s crypto holdings.
In the “Establishment of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and United States Digital Asset Stockpile” Executive Order agencies were given 30 days to report digital assets.

The 30-Day Deadline Has Come and Gone
Signed on March 6, Trump’s order required all federal agencies to report their Bitcoin and other crypto holdings to the Treasury Secretary within 30 days. That deadline passed on April 5 — and it’s now been 37 days since the order, with no public update. This delay has left many in the crypto community wondering what’s happening behind the scenes.
The plan was to use seized digital assets from criminal and civil cases to build two strategic reserves. These assets include not only Bitcoin but also other cryptocurrencies that President Trump previously acknowledged, like XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA).
How Much Crypto Does the U.S. Actually Own?
According to BitcoinTreasuries, the U.S. government holds around 198,012 BTC, worth about $16.8 billion as of April 1. Back in March, White House crypto advisor David Sacks estimated the total was close to 200,000 BTC, but there’s never been an official audit to confirm this.
While the Treasury and Commerce Departments are allowed to pursue strategies to increase Bitcoin holdings, the executive order clarifies that the U.S. won’t be acquiring additional digital assets beyond what’s already been seized.
Why This Matters for XRP, SOL, and ADA
Trump mentioned that XRP, SOL, and ADA would be part of the government’s crypto stockpile, which could be a big deal if federal agencies reveal holdings in these tokens. Any confirmation of these assets being held by the U.S. government could drive demand and lift market sentiment.
However, Trump’s aggressive trade policies and looming global tariff plans are weighing down the markets. Despite a short recovery on April 1, the total crypto market cap has dropped by 7% over the last week, now sitting at $2.76 trillion.
For now, all eyes are on the Treasury for the overdue report.
