Bitwise Research Director: Trump's strategic reserve executive order will reshape the institutional cryptocurrency investment landscape, institutions have no reason to refuse to increase holdings

According to Cointelegraph, investment analysts and crypto industry leaders believe that President Trump's executive order to establish a "U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve and national digital asset repository" will serve as a catalyst for wider adoption of Bitcoin. Bitwise Research Director Ryan Rasmussen predicts this will trigger a domino effect, with other countries and private investors investing in Bitcoin with greater confidence. He emphasized: "The ultimate goal was never 'the U.S. government buying all the Bitcoins in the world.'"

Rasmussen stressed that large institutional investors such as wealth management companies, financial institutions, and pension plans now have "no reason" not to increase their exposure to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies approved by the Trump administration. He pointed out that as selling pressure decreases, the likelihood of the U.S. government and states purchasing Bitcoin has increased, explicitly stating: "The U.S. government holding Bitcoins would reduce the possibility of banning Bitcoins to zero."
