Donald Trump's executive order to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve is stalled. While the U.S. government has increased its Bitcoin holdings to about $29 billion, legal issues are complicating the establishment of the reserve. A White House staffer noted ongoing discussions about the necessary legal frameworks.

President Trump has expressed his support for the Bitcoin bill introduced by Senator Cynthia Lummis, which aims to provide a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency. This endorsement could significantly impact the legislative landscape surrounding digital currencies in the United States, potentially encouraging further adoption and investment in Bitcoin.

Bitcoin reached a record price of $124,480, continuing its summer rally, driven by an influx of companies investing in the cryptocurrency and supportive policies from the Trump administration. The digital asset has surged 30% in value this year, propelled by the opening of US retirement plans to crypto investments and the rise of "bitcoin treasury" companies.
