Trump’s Crypto Reserve Plan Troiggers Market Problems
The increase in the outflow of Bitcoin ETF coincided with market reactions on Trump’s weekend announcement with regard to the establishment of an American crypto -strategic reserve. The proposed reserve would include a mix of crypto assets, mainly Bitcoin and Ethereum, with the aim of positioning the US as the ‘crypto capital of the world’.
Despite the ambitious goal, the plan has had to do with a considerable pushback from the crypto community. Critics claim that it contradicts the fundamental principle of decentralization of Bitcoin, which expresses concern that a currency designed to be free from government control can now be influenced by American policy.
Anthony Pompliano, CEO of Professional Capital Management and a large crypto investor, expressed his opposition. In a letter to customers, he described the plan as an error that the US will regret.
“Although Solana is our second largest crypto-retaining, and many of the shares I have are tied to Altcoins, I still think that this wide crypto reserve is a bad idea,” wrote Pompliano. He warned that the policy seems to be “a random mix of speculative assets” that would mainly benefit insiders and token makers at the expense of American taxpayers.
Bitcoin, which rose by 11% on Monday, March 3 to an intraday height of $ 94,770, withdrew 13.8% the next day to act at $ 81,700 when investors assumed a risk-off attitude in the midst of escalating trade tensions and worries of the strategic reserve plan.

Both crypto assets have since been found, with Bitcoin (BTC) 3.6% in the last day, and traded at $ 87.163 and Ethereum (ETH) increases 3.6% to $ 2,180.
Bitcoin’s struggles in 2025
Uldis Teraudklans, Chief Revenue Officer at Paybis, emphasized Bitcoin’s fight this year. He noted that the price of Bitcoin has fallen to 11.47% to date, while gold, with comparable economic uncertainty, has won 10.65% in the same period.
Referring to a Bank of America survey, which showed that 58% of the fund managers still regards gold as a reliable value of value – especially in the case of a trade war – while only 3% Trust Bitcoin, teraud klance noticed that “this year Bitcoin has proved to be more reactive and Rentevat.” He pointed out that with Wall Street companies now heavily exposed to Bitcoin, liquidity flows have made it more volatile.
February was particularly challenging, with Bitcoin who fell 17.39%worst since 2014 and the only negative in a mailing year. Teraudklans attributed this to falling institutional appetite, trade tensions and the increasing correlation of Bitcoin with the S&P 500.
On the long-term role of Bitcoin, tero-klance stated: “Bitcoin has never been a safe port assets all an ambitious one.” He acknowledged that the reignites of every market cycle debate about the viability of Bitcoin as a hedge, but emphasized that “Bitcoin has been consistently a risk-active, after a long-term process to become a safe haven, risk-off assets.”
“Only when Bitcoin reaches the market capitalization of gold, can we seriously evaluate whether it can replace it as a safe port active,” he concluded.
