Major Events in 2025

March 6, 2025 - Trump Establishes Strategic Bitcoin Reserve

President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and United States Digital Asset Stockpile, making the U.S. the first major nation to formally create a national bitcoin reserve.

The order directed the Treasury to hold all forfeited BTC as reserve assets that cannot be sold, and to develop budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional bitcoin. The executive order described Bitcoin as "digital gold" and emphasized the strategic advantage of being among the first nations to create such a reserve.

October 5, 2025 - Bitcoin Hits All-Time High Above $125,000

Bitcoin reached a new all-time high above $125,000, surpassing its previous record of $124,480 set in mid-August. The rally was fueled by friendlier regulations from the Trump administration and strong demand from institutional investors.

The cryptocurrency had risen for eight straight sessions, bolstered by gains in U.S. equities and continued inflows into bitcoin exchange-traded funds.

October 10, 2025 - Major Market Crash Triggered by China Tariffs

Bitcoin and the broader crypto market experienced the largest liquidation event in history after President Trump announced 100% tariffs on all Chinese imports. More than $19 billion in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated over 24-48 hours.

The crash was compounded by MSCI's announcement of a consultation to potentially reclassify Digital Asset Treasury companies, which threatened to remove major bitcoin-holding companies from equity indexes and trigger billions in forced passive selling.
