Majority of American Voters Disapprove of Trump’s Bitcoin Reserve Proposal

2 min

A recent survey shows that most American voters oppose President Donald Trump’s proposal for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Key findings include:

  • More than half of respondents disapprove of the plan, including many Republicans.
  • Democratic voters largely reject the initiative; Independents also express disapproval.
  • The survey was conducted from March 8 to 10, 2025, with over 1,000 likely voters participating.

Trump signed an executive order to establish the reserve using existing government-held Bitcoin. The Treasury and Commerce Departments are tasked with exploring budget-neutral acquisition methods. Despite these efforts, criticism persists regarding government involvement in digital assets.

Additionally, many Americans believe the government should cut financial support for cryptocurrency and blockchain development. Survey highlights include:

  • Significant opposition to federal funding for crypto initiatives.
  • Preference for increased funding for social programs like Social Security and Medicare.
  • Infrastructure projects receive greater priority for public spending.

The results indicate that while digital assets have gained traction, they are not a high priority for the general public. As Trump proceeds with crypto policies, aligning government actions with voter expectations will be crucial amidst ongoing debates over federal involvement in cryptocurrency.
