Bitcoin jumps 20% after Trump hints at new strategic reserve

SINGAPORE (Reuters) -Bitcoin surged more than 20% from last week's lows on Monday and several other cryptocurrencies also rallied sharply after U.S. President Donald Trump raised the possibility of a new U.S. strategic reserve that would include a range of tokens. Trump said in a post on Truth Social that his January executive order on digital assets would create a stockpile of currencies, including bitcoin, ether, XRP, solana and cardano. Ether was also up 20% from Friday's lows to $2,351, a 7% drop from Sunday's closing levels.
