Bitcoin Déjà Vu? If Trump's Second Term Is Anything Like His First, BTC Could Touch This Eye-Popping Level
- U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve using existing federal Bitcoin holdings rather than new purchases, leading to mixed reactions from the cryptocurrency market.

- Some investors, like Matt Hougan from Bitwise Asset Management, believe that while there is short-term disappointment, the establishment of the reserve could enhance Bitcoin's long-term value and geopolitical significance.
