Donald Trump signs executive order for sovereign wealth fund, Bitcoin reclaims $100,000

President Trump has ordered the creation of a first-ever US sovereign wealth fund to serve as a tool for economic development.

The Treasury and Commerce departments have been charged with the responsibility of creating the fund.

While the signed order doesn’t state many details, it instructs both departments to submit a plan for the fund within 90 days. This includes investment strategies, funding mechanisms, fund structure and a governance model.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the fund will be established within the next 12 months.

“We’re going to stand this thing up within the next 12 months. We’re going to monetize the asset side of the US balance sheet for the American people,” said Bessent during a media panel, according to CNBC.

The president first mentioned the idea of a sovereign wealth fund during his campaign last year, stating that it could fund national projects.

This came after President Trump signed an executive order to create a US digital asset stockpile last month.

The new sovereign wealth fund order has stirred optimism among crypto community members, who have been speculating about the addition of Bitcoin to the fund.

Bitwise senior investment strategist Juan Leon highlighted that the inclusion of Bitcoin in the fund is a big possibility. He stated that the government could include BTC in the strategic wealth fund while accumulating more Bitcoin for a strategic reserve.

Bitcoin has reclaimed the $100,000 level following President Trump’s signing of the sovereign wealth fund order.
