The first word on the US Government potentially holding crypto long term is out. Although Bitcoin and Ethereum are mentioned later in a followup tweet. The big ones mentioned here are Cardano, XRP, and SOL.
All 3 projects have reasons for optimism. Of the 3, we are interested to see if this is what kickstarts a huge growth phase for Cardano. The reserve is not the only reason it could go to $10 sometime in 2025. Let’s take a look at other moves they are making to grow.
Strategic Crypto Reserve
President Trump has finally said something about a reserve and whether it will be Bitcoin-only or add more crypto. This tweet on Truth Social yesterday clearly shows that Trump wants a broader reserve of assets. And ADA was a top name on that list, as you see in that tweet.

Now, the passionate Cardano community is loving this, of course, but we also need to have a little patience. What Trump said yesterday is important. But what’s more important is March 7th. On that day, there is the first ever White House Crypto Summit and meeting of the Digital Assets Working Group. And right now, there is one big question. What does the Working Group think? Do they think Bitcoin only? Or do they think a broader crypto reserve makes sense?

There is also a BIG difference between a stockpile and a reserve. A reserve implies using money from the US Treasury to go out and buy strategic digital assets to hold. Just as the US Government does with things like gold and oil. But a stockpile, that’s what the US Govt already has from law enforcement-based seizures and alleged illegal activity. And look at this list.
“stockpile” is jargon that means holding what they have, but not necessarily buying anything

The $20 billion worth of Bitcoin is all from seizing when finding illegal activity. That’s by far the largest holding. Other assets here include almost exclusively EVM tokens and stablecoins. We don’t even know if the March 7th summit will lead to an ultimate decision. But the least the Working Group will likely recommend is to keep what the Government has already collected. I can’t see them recommending to sell everything and not hold any crypto at all.
That’s Option 1. And if that’s all the group recommends, then that leaves Cardano out. But this is probably the least likely option. Option 2 would be to sell the “other crypto” and keep or potentially add Bitcoin as a Bitcoin-only reserve. This is more likely and would also leave Cardano out. Option 3 would be to keep or adjust the current stockpile and add other strategic assets. This is a good possibility too. And this is one that ADA and XRP fans are rooting for.
And there’s no question these coins will rise or even go parabolic if this is what the White House decides. But there are other reasons to like Cardano, whether ADA is part of the reserve or not.
Midnight Launch
Midnight is Cardano’s solution to a constant problem we talk about in crypto. Privacy.
HIGHLIGHT: Midnight to boost $ADA with a 135M-user airdrop, NO ICO, NO pre-sale. @IOHK_Charles

As you hear in the clip, this airdrop for this privacy-based Cardano sidechain will be one of the biggest and most broadly distributed tokens we’ve ever seen in the market. More importantly, it solves the problem of having to shield or privatize at least some transactions to get the widespread adoption we all want for the industry. Midnight will likely become the largest ecosystem coin the day it launches.
Midnight will launch this year and will provide block rewards to Cardano stake pool operators. They’ll get two revenue streams: NIGHT tokens and ADA for making blocks and maintaining two ledgers. pic.twitter.com/RU1bZQGOBW

While we don’t know the exact date of the launch yet, everyone, including Hoskinson himself, says it’s coming this year. And its token, along with its rewards for $ADA holders and validators will make it a very profitable year once it does launch.
More Interoperability with ADA Than Ever Before
Finally, Cardano is doing more to remove its reputation as an isolated island and integrate more with other chains. Some examples of this include:
- BTC is coming to ADA.
- XRP Bridge.
- Wanchain Bridge to EVM, SOL, or SUI.
The #Cadano network will be able to sign #Bitcoin transactions while using the now US Treasury reserve asset $ADA as the gas fee.
. Simply put, Bitcoin users will be able to transact 100% with $BTC, but it uses $ADA under the hood too. Everybody wins. Spread the news. pic.twitter.com/k1xhZ2DC1C

Bitcoin and Cardano have always been compatible. Both use the same UTXO (Unspent transaction output model) for tracking transactions that most other chains don’t use. And you saw in the clip that Charles Hoskinson himself said he expects Bitcoin to be a US Treasury reserve asset. And then people will be able to pay for it using $ADA for gas. So this is a big one.
There are many reasons to feel optimistic about Cardano’s future growth. And it could get up to $10. In the short term, this catalyst of Trump’s statements will become clearer after the Digital Summit. We are excited to see what happens.
