Trump's second term: friendlier crypto rules, a Bitcoin reserve and $1.4B in family income
- —The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, ordered March 6, 2025, holds forfeited coins — roughly 200,000 BTC with no full audit
- —The GENIUS Act, signed July 18, 2025, mandates 1:1 reserves, audits and licensing; full effect set for January 18, 2027
- —The August 7, 2025 401(k) order led to a Labor Department rule proposed in March 2026 that is still not final
- —Trump disclosed over $1.4 billion in 2025 crypto income from $TRUMP, World Liberty Financial and USD1
Why it matters: Looser rules and banks entering stablecoins underpin institutional demand, but the stalled CLARITY Act leaves the market without clear oversight.
