Majority of US Voters Oppose Trump’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Plan
Conducted between March 8 and 10, 2025, the poll surveyed 1,169 likely voters and found that 51% are against the creation of both a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a Digital Asset Stockpile. Notably, opposition spans across party lines, with 59% of Democrats, 56% of Independents, and 40% of Republican voters disapproving of the proposal.
In addition to rejecting the crypto reserves, many voters believe the U.S. government should reduce its investment in cryptocurrency and blockchain development. The survey indicates that 45% of respondents favor decreasing federal funding in this sector, while only 10% support increasing it. Instead, voters prioritize allocating government resources to social programs, with 65% supporting increased funding for Social Security and 64% advocating for more spending on Medicare.
President Trump signed an executive order on March 6, 2025, to establish the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, aiming to position the United States as a leader in government digital asset strategy. The reserve is intended to include Bitcoin already in the government’s possession, primarily obtained through asset forfeitures, with future acquisitions designed to be budget-neutral to limit taxpayer expenses.
Despite support from some industry insiders, public sentiment remains less favorable toward the initiative. The survey’s findings suggest that voters would rather see government resources allocated to social services and infrastructure funding over cryptocurrency investments.
