As President-elect Trump’s inauguration approaches, there is a palpable sense of excitement within cryptocurrency circles in general and Bitcoin circles in particular. After all, Trump has promised to deploy the US government’s huge stockpile of confiscated bitcoins to create a strategic reserve, one that almost guarantees a significant price rise. However, we are now getting precise details that may serve to dampen some of the so far unbridled euphoria among Bitcoin supporters.

To wit, New York Post Now Preparing reports Trump’s team is considering the idea of ​​an “America First Strategic Reserve,” which would prioritize U.S.-origin coins such as Solana, USD Coin, and Ripple, at the expense of Bitcoin.

The Trump administration is considering creating a strategic reserve of Bitcoin. Other coin reserves held in the United States are fake news. They will have to buy companies too.

I have recommended that Trump and his team launch a sovereign wealth fund and then buy companies that advance U.S. strategic interests. https://t.co/WhcVUr6rPX

However, this idea is already receiving significant opposition from Bitcoin extremists. Given the Trump 2.0 administration’s sensitivity to any public criticism, especially from what it sees as its support base within crypto circles, we would hazard an educated guess that the America First reserve idea will struggle to come to fruition. Betting markets seem to agree.

While the odds of President Trump creating a strategic reserve of Bitcoin within his first 100 days in office are currently weak at just 100 days. 36 percentThe odds of such a reserve being achieved sometime in 2025 lie comfortably 55 percentThis was also after the publication of the aforementioned report from the New York Post.

Meanwhile, here are some of the pro-crypto and pro-bitcoin steps the incoming Trump administration is expected to take in the next few days and weeks:

1. First ever Crypto ball In Washington, D.C., hosted by David Sachs, the next cryptocurrency and AI czar.
2. The Securities and Exchange Commission will halt All crypto and Bitcoin related enforcement actions are pending against the entities as it conducts a comprehensive review of all digital asset regulations.
3. Pending cases related to cryptocurrencies will be reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
4. Ending rumored cryptocurrency banking cancellation policies.
5. Create a strategic reserve for digital assets.
