The U.S. government is taking an unexpected step in financial strategy with the creation of a Sovereign Wealth Fund, following an executive order from President Donald Trump.
While details remain unclear, the move is seen as an effort to strengthen the country’s economic future. Speculation is growing over whether Bitcoin and Ethereum might be included in its asset portfolio, signaling a potential shift in how digital assets are viewed at the national level.
This development coincides with ongoing trade tensions between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, adding another layer of uncertainty to global markets. Amid this backdrop, Senator Cynthia Lummis is pushing for Bitcoin to be part of government reserves, advocating for a long-term strategy that would see the U.S. accumulate 1 million BTC over five years.
Meanwhile, the crypto market remains resilient. Bitcoin has surged past $101,000, with Ethereum holding strong near $2,849. Some analysts believe the government could consider digital assets as a hedge against economic instability. Eric Trump has also expressed optimism about Ethereum’s potential, fueling further speculation.
As markets react to shifting policies and trade discussions, the introduction of the Sovereign Wealth Fund raises questions about how the U.S. intends to navigate economic challenges. If cryptocurrencies become part of this strategy, it could mark a significant change in how the government approaches digital assets.
