U.S. Strategic Crypto Reserves: A New Way to Build National Wealth

Normal Finance examines the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Digital Asset Stockpile, established in March 2025 under an executive order. The reserve holds approximately 200,000 Bitcoin alongside holdings of Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano sourced from seized assets, with a combined value exceeding $22 billion. The article puts this in global context alongside similar moves by El Salvador and Bhutan, while covering the regulatory landscape including MiCA and the GENIUS Act. Normal highlights how its Stellar-based crypto index protocol allows everyday investors to track and gain exposure to strategic reserve assets through diversified, on-chain index tokens.
