U.S. integrates Bitcoin, pressures El Salvador on usage

On March 7, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in the U.S. This marks a significant shift in U.S. monetary policy, recognizing Bitcoin's value amid rising inflation and economic uncertainty. The U.S. is now integrating Bitcoin into its economy while pressuring countries like El Salvador to limit its use. El Salvador continues to accumulate Bitcoin despite International Monetary Fund demands to reduce its legal tender status. As the dollar's dominance weakens, the U.S. is adopting stablecoins while halting plans for a central bank digital currency. This reflects a broader trend of nations exploring decentralized financial systems as the traditional fiat model faces challenges.
