# Strategic reserve
President Donald J. Trump fulfilled his promise by signing an executive order on March 6, 2025, to establish the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile^1,2,6,8. The reserve is capitalized with approximately 200,000 Bitcoin already owned by the U.S. government, which were seized through criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings and are valued at around $17-18 billion^1,2,3^. The order mandates a comprehensive accounting of federal digital asset holdings and prohibits the sale of Bitcoin from the reserve, positioning it as a permanent store of value^9. Additionally, the Digital Asset Stockpile is intended to include other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano, as specified by Trump^3,4^. The BITCOIN Act, related to this initiative, proposes allowing the Treasury to acquire up to 5% of the total Bitcoin supply, potentially worth around $88 billion, to mirror the scope of U.S. gold reserves^3^. Legislation has also been introduce
# Epstein allegations
Based on the recently released Department of Justice files, there are documents that contain allegations and references connecting Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, but no evidence has been presented that he was criminally involved in Epstein's child exploitation ring
# Peacemaking activities
Based on the provided information, President Trump has been involved in mediation and ceasefire efforts in at least six different conflicts during his second term in 2025. However, the success and permanence of these agreements vary, and some claims are disputed by the involved parties.
Here is a breakdown of the conflicts where Trump's administration has played a mediating role:
Confirmed Mediation and Ceasefires:
Israel-Gaza Conflict: The U.S. mediated a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which was part of a broader 20-point peace plan
. This effort was further solidified when the UN Security Council approved a U.S.-drafted resolution supporting the plan in November 2025
.
Cambodia-Thailand Border Conflict: Following months of border clashes, Trump helped mediate a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand on the sidelines of an ASEAN summit in October 2025
. A joint statement from the leaders credited Trump for urging them to find a peaceful solution
.
Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)-Rwanda: Trump's diplomacy revived talks between the DRC and Rwanda
•
. A ceasefire was reached in June 2025 after what Trump described as a "long night" of talks mediated by the U.S.
. However, a previous long-term ceasefire had collapsed in late 2024, highlighting the fragility of the situation8.
Engagement and Mediation Efforts:
Sudan: The Trump administration injected "new momentum" into mediation efforts in Sudan's ongoing civil war
. While a final resolution has not been reported, the U.S. is actively involved in trying to stop the fighting.
Armenia-Azerbaijan: Trump brokered a ceasefire in this conflict, according to one source, though details are sparse compared to other efforts
.
Russia-Ukraine War: Trump has engaged in direct talks with Vladimir Putin on the conflict^3,5^. His rhetoric initially raised public optimism for peace in Russia, but hopes have since receded as the war continues, and it remains a major unresolved conflict^5^^.
Disputed or Refuted Claims:
India-Pakistan: Trump's team cited mediation between India and Pakistan as a success8. However, India's External Affairs Minister publicly rejected the idea of third-party mediation and stated no foreign leader asked India to halt its operations
.
Serbia-Kosovo and Egypt-Ethiopia: These were also listed by Trump's team as examples of his diplomacy, but the search results do not provide further details on the U.S. role in these specific situations
.
In summary, experts cited in the search results credit Trump with a significant role in mediating ceasefires in at least four conflicts: Israel-Gaza, Cambodia-Thailand, DRC-Rwanda, and Armenia-Azerbaijan^2^. His administration is also actively engaged in mediation for Sudan and the Russia-Ukraine war, though the latter remains unresolved^4,5^^.
