The cryptocurrency market is on edge as former U.S. President Donald Trump prepares to introduce the Bitcoin (BTC) Strategic Reserve Bill to Congress. If passed, this bill could redefine Bitcoin’s role in the global financial system, potentially making it a national strategic asset alongside gold and oil.
Breaking Down Trump’s Bitcoin Bill
For years, governments have held seized Bitcoin in reserves, often selling it to stabilize the market or raise funds. However, Trump’s proposed legislation aims to restrict the U.S. from ever selling its 200,000+ BTC holdings—a move that could drastically impact supply and demand dynamics.

— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) March 15, 2025🔹 Key Points from the Bill:
✔️ The U.S. government will not sell its Bitcoin reserves, even under future administrations.
✔️ The bill requires 60 votes in the Senate and House approval to become law.
✔️ Bitcoin could be recognized as a strategic reserve asset, alongside gold and oil.
✔️ A new Bitcoin Reserve Department may be established to regulate holdings.
This legislation comes amid growing discussions about digital assets as national reserves, and if passed, it could reshape how countries handle cryptocurrency.
What Does This Mean for Bitcoin’s Price?
Bitcoin has remained stable around $83,800, but with this bill in play, a major price shift could be on the horizon. In the past, rumors of government Bitcoin sales caused market uncertainty. However, if this bill is enacted, the fear of large-scale sell-offs would be eliminated, allowing Bitcoin to potentially gain more institutional trust.
In a previous BlockNewsX article, I mentioned that regulatory clarity is one of the biggest hurdles for Bitcoin adoption. This bill could be a significant step forward, bringing long-term stability and increased investor confidence in the crypto market.
Market Reactions: BTC, ETH, and Other Cryptos
The crypto market has seen mixed reactions following this news:
💰 Bitcoin (BTC) – Holding at $83,800, with potential bullish momentum if the bill passes.
💎 Ethereum (ETH) – Trading around $1,945, still struggling to break resistance at $1,975.
🔹 Pi Network (PI) – Holding support at $1.40, with recent positive sentiment from investors.
🚀 Chainlink (LINK) – Consolidating near $14.10, with resistance at $14.60.
Analysts believe that once the bill passes Senate approval, we may see a new wave of institutional investment, further solidifying Bitcoin’s position in global markets.
What’s Next for the Crypto Market?
The next few weeks will be crucial. If the bill gains enough support:
✔️ Bitcoin could become an official U.S. reserve asset.
✔️ Institutional investment in crypto could increase significantly.
✔️ The risk of government-led BTC sell-offs would be reduced.
With market movements expected after 7 PM today, traders should stay vigilant. Historically, Sundays have seen significant price shifts, and this bill could add further volatility.
