Why is Bitcoin Dumping Despite Trumps Bitcoin Reserve Announcement?

  • Trump Establishes Strategic Bitcoin Reserve – The U.S. will hold 200,000 BTC from seized assets, but no immediate new Bitcoin purchases were announced, disappointing some traders.
  • Market Reacts with a Bitcoin Dip – BTC fell 3% to $87,000, as traders had anticipated the reserve would increase demand with fresh acquisitions, but no such plans were confirmed.
  • Long-Term Bullish Outlook – Despite short-term volatility, institutions are accumulating BTC, and global governments may follow the U.S. in creating their own Bitcoin reserves.

In a historic move, President Donald Trump has signed an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, marking a significant shift in U.S. crypto policy. However, the immediate market reaction was negative, with Bitcoin dropping 3% to $87,000 as traders processed the news.

Bitcoin Reserve Funded by Seized Assets—No New Buys (Yet)

According to White House Crypto & AI Czar David Sacks, the reserve will be initially capitalized using Bitcoin already owned by the federal government, estimated at around 200,000 BTC.

“The Secretaries of Treasury and Commerce are authorized to develop budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional Bitcoin,” Sacks noted.

However, the lack of immediate new purchases may have disappointed traders, as many had expected the order to include fresh acquisitions, which could have boosted Bitcoin’s demand.

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan had hyped the reserve as potentially being “larger than people think”, adding to speculation that the U.S. would actively buy Bitcoin rather than just holding what it had already seized.

Market Reaction: Bitcoin Slips as Stock Market Woes Add Pressure

If the market continues viewing the order as underwhelming, Bitcoin could see further declines, “catching up” to this week’s weakness in U.S. equities.

  • Stocks have been struggling due to U.S. economic concerns, worsened by DOGE austerity, Trump’s trade wars, and bleak GDP forecasts.
  • The Atlanta Fed’s updated GDPNow model predicts a 2.4% annualized GDP decline in Q1 2025, adding more uncertainty.

On the technical side, Bitcoin has repeatedly failed to break past its 21DMA, signaling bearish momentum. However, it remains above its 200DMA—a key support level. If BTC breaks below the 200DMA, a deeper downtrend could be confirmed.

Buying the Bitcoin Dip? Long-Term Outlook Remains Bullish

Despite short-term volatility, some analysts see the dip as a massive opportunity for long-term Bitcoin accumulation.

“The U.S. government’s decision to set up a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is a massive validation for Bitcoin—arguably even bigger than the ETF approvals in early 2024,” said one industry expert.

Institutions have already been accumulating BTC at record rates over the past year, and this announcement could accelerate that trend.

Additionally, other nations may now race to build their own Bitcoin reserves, further increasing demand.

“When the leader (the USA) moves, the crowd (rest of the world) will follow.”

With a potential U.S. recession looming, liquidity injections, rate cuts, and QE could boost Bitcoin prices in the coming years.

Historically, such macro-economic shifts have been bullish for Bitcoin, making current price dips a key buying opportunity for investors looking to accumulate aggressively.
