Trump Fires Starting Gun On ‘Crypto Arms Race’ With Strategic Reserve

The global “crypto arms race” is on, with Donald Trump announcing a strategic US reserve of digital assets the stakes have skyrocketed, predicts the CEO of one of the world’s largest independent financial advisory and asset management organizations.

The comments from deVere Group’s Nigel Green come as President Donald Trump announced the creation of a “strategic crypto reserve” that will include Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana’s SOL token and Cardano’s ADA, in a post on Truth Social.

This is the first time Trump has specified his support for a crypto “reserve” versus a “stockpile.”

The deVere CEO says: “Other nations will likely feel compelled to respond, and in doing so, Bitcoin and the wider cryptocurrency market are primed for unprecedented gains.

“This move cements the legitimacy of digital assets in a way that will redefine global finance, with Bitcoin potentially soaring to all-time highs of $200,000 by the end of 2025, we predict.”

He continues: “Trump’s declaration that Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, and Cardano will be part of an official reserve is nothing short of a financial revolution. For years, digital assets have operated in a space of uncertainty, battling regulatory ambiguity and institutional hesitance. That era now appears to be over.

“The endorsement of these assets at the highest level of US policymaking signifies that crypto is not just here to stay—it will be integrated into the national financial strategy of the world’s largest and most influential economy.”

“It’s a clear indicator that digital assets will play a defining role in the future of money. This move can be expected to send the prices of Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies soaring as both institutions and retail investors rush to gain further exposure.”

deVere Group fully supports this move, recognizing it as a pivotal shift that will bring immense benefits to investors, the US economy, and the crypto sector.

By formalizing a digital reserve, Washington is securing a hedge against inflation, strengthening economic sovereignty, and promoting innovation in blockchain technology.

This strategic decision places the US ahead of global rivals in digital asset adoption, likely forcing other economic powerhouses to follow suit or risk losing ground.

For investors, this represents a generational wealth-building opportunity. Institutional adoption has long been the catalyst for price surges, and this development “could drive one of the most significant bull runs in Bitcoin’s history,” says Nigel Green.

The psychological shift alone—whereby governments recognize crypto as a core asset class—will drive a tidal wave of new capital into the market. Bitcoin’s surge following Trump’s announcement is just the beginning.

“The formal recognition of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as part of a national reserve is a defining moment. We expect this move to accelerate mainstream adoption, attracting new investors and reinforcing Bitcoin’s role as a store of value,” Nigel Green continues.

“The US economy stands to benefit enormously, as it secures a position at the forefront of the new financial era, creating jobs and driving growth in blockchain innovation.”

The momentum is undeniable. The US has set the tone, and others will follow.

Countries that have been hesitant to embrace digital assets now have a clear signal: part of the future is crypto.

Nigel Green concludes: “With the strategic reserve, the US has fired the starting gun on the crypto arms race.

“As international governments are now likely to position themselves to compete in this new era, demand for Bitcoin and other cryptos can be expected to surge, creating momentum that could propel Bitcoin to $200,000 by the end of 2025.”
