    Bitcoin Drops Over 5% Amid Volatility Following Trump’s Bitcoin Reserve Plan

    Cryptocurrency prices took a hit on Monday, with Bitcoin leading the decline, as market volatility persisted following President Donald Trump’s executive order to establish a U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve. The news of the reserve, which will be funded by Bitcoin seized through criminal and civil forfeitures, failed to meet investors’ expectations, contributing to a downturn in crypto prices across the board.

    Bitcoin and Crypto Prices Fall

    Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market cap, fell over 5%, trading at $81,712 by 9:42 a.m. Singapore time, according to Coin Metrics. The digital asset had earlier dropped to even lower levels but managed to recover somewhat by the time of reporting. Ether and XRP also saw declines, with both cryptocurrencies down by approximately 7.5%.

    The strategic Bitcoin reserve announcement, which was made last Thursday, initially sparked excitement in the market, but the details provided were met with disappointment. Unlike expectations for a more aggressive acquisition of Bitcoin by the U.S. government, the reserve will only be funded by coins that have been seized in criminal and civil forfeiture cases. Furthermore, there are no immediate plans for the U.S. government to purchase additional Bitcoin.

    Market Disappointment Over Strategic Reserve Plan

    Investors had hoped for a more robust commitment from the U.S. government, such as large-scale Bitcoin acquisitions, which would have likely bolstered Bitcoin’s price. However, the strategic reserve plan’s limited scope did not fulfill these expectations, and the market reacted negatively, pushing prices lower.

    While some investors expressed disappointment in the short-term impact of the plan, others see potential long-term benefits. Matt Hougan, the chief investment officer at Bitwise Asset Management, believes the market’s reaction to the announcement is shortsighted. “I absolutely think the market has this wrong,” Hougan told CNBC’s Squawk Box Asia. “The market is short-term disappointed that the government didn’t say it was immediately going to start acquiring 100,000 or 200,000 Bitcoin.”

    Long-Term Optimism

    Hougan pointed to comments from David Sacks, the White House Crypto and AI Czar, who suggested that the U.S. government would look for “budget-neutral strategies” to acquire more Bitcoin in the future, with no added cost to American taxpayers. Hougan argued that the more critical question is whether the executive order increases the likelihood of Bitcoin becoming a geopolitically significant currency. “Will other governments look to follow the U.S.’s lead and build their own strategic reserve? And to me, the answer to that is emphatically yes,” he said.

    Hougan suggested that such a move could eventually lead to Bitcoin’s rise as a global asset, which could potentially increase its value significantly. “That’s the question that determines if Bitcoin is $80,000 a coin or $1 million a coin.”

    Short-Term Setback, Long-Term Bullish Outlook

    While the immediate market reaction was negative, Hougan remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s future. He referred to the current decline in crypto prices as a “short-term setback,” stating that the market will soon realize the potential bullish effects of the strategic reserve plan in the long run. According to Hougan, the establishment of a Bitcoin reserve could help legitimize the cryptocurrency further and encourage other nations to take similar steps, which he believes will ultimately lead to higher prices for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

    In the meantime, as Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies continue to navigate this period of volatility, investors will likely keep a close eye on any further developments regarding the U.S. strategic reserve and how it might shape the future of digital currencies.
