The U.S. government plans to include Cardano's ADA in its digital asset stockpile, according to Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson. He cited Cardano's deflationary model, decentralization, and eight years of uninterrupted operation as reasons for its inclusion. The Trump administration announced in March 2025 the creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a broader digital asset stockpile, with ADA among the selected cryptocurrencies. The stockpile will be funded through civil or criminal forfeitures, not taxpayer money, though the mechanism for acquiring ADA remains unclear.
