It's hard to imagine a larger catalyst for cryptocurrencies than the one on March 6, when the White House issued an executive order that the U.S. would be forming both a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a national Digital Asset Stockpile. And yet in the wake of that ultra-bullish announcement, the prices of major cryptos including Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), Solana (CRYPTO: SOL), XRP (CRYPTO: XRP), and Cardano (CRYPTO: ADA) are all down, and substantially in most cases. Under the plan for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the Digital Asset Stockpile, the government will not be buying any of the cryptocurrencies mentioned above, at least not in a way that involves spending from the nation's budget.
