Company changes its name to better reflect future growth
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Bancorp. (OTC: BULT) (“Bitcoin Bancorp” or the “Company”), formerly Bullet Blockchain, Inc., today announced its rebranding to Bitcoin Bancorp, effective immediately. This strategic name change underscores the Company’s commitment to leading the $4.25 trillion cryptocurrency market through its nationwide Bitcoin ATM network, exclusive patents, and innovative fintech solutions.
Aligning with Pro-Crypto Policies Under the Trump Administration
In alignment with the Trump administration’s recent executive orders establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, as well as broader initiatives to support the growth of the U.S. crypto industry, Bitcoin Bancorp is well-positioned to capitalize on this favorable regulatory landscape. The personal involvement of the Trump family in cryptocurrency ventures, including co-founding World Liberty Financial, underscores the growing mainstream acceptance and momentum in the crypto sector, aligning perfectly with Bitcoin Bancorp’s mission to drive innovation and accessibility.
On March 6, 2025, President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 14233, titled “Establishment of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and United States Digital Asset Stockpile,” marking a seismic shift in U.S. policy toward cryptocurrencies. This executive order, which was codified by Congress in H.R. 3798 and signed into law, aims to position the United States as a leader in the global digital asset landscape by creating two distinct custodial accounts: the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile. Below is a detailed overview of these initiatives based on available information.
Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is designed to treat Bitcoin (BTC) as a strategic national asset, often referred to as a “digital Fort Knox.” It is capitalized with nearly 200,000 BTC, valued at roughly $17 billion as of early March 2025, primarily accumulated through criminal and civil forfeiture proceedings by the Department of the Treasury. Key aspects include:
Purpose and Policy: The order recognizes Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million coins and its unhacked security record, likening it to “digital gold.” It establishes a policy to retain these assets as a long-term store of value, prohibiting their sale except in specific circumstances, such as returning assets to victims of crime, supporting law enforcement operations, or meeting legal requirements under statutes like 31 U.S.C. §9705.Administration: The Secretary of the Treasury is tasked with establishing an office to administer and maintain control of the reserve. Within 30 days of the order, federal agencies must review their authority to transfer seized BTC to this reserve and provide a full accounting of their digital asset holdings. Within 60 days, the Treasury must evaluate legal and investment considerations, including potential legislative needs.Acquisition Strategy: The order directs the Secretaries of Treasury and Commerce to develop budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional BTC without imposing costs on taxpayers. However, no open-market purchases were authorized, contrary to some market expectations, which led to a temporary Bitcoin price drop from $92,400 to $84,971 before stabilizing around $88,000.
U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile
The U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile encompasses all other digital assets (excluding BTC) forfeited to the Department of the Treasury through criminal or civil proceedings. Key details include:
Scope and Management: Unlike the Bitcoin Reserve, the Stockpile allows the Secretary of the Treasury discretion to determine “responsible stewardship” strategies, which may include liquidation. The government is explicitly prohibited from acquiring additional non-BTC digital assets for the Stockpile beyond forfeiture proceedings without further executive or legislative action.Administration: Similar to the Bitcoin Reserve, an office within the Treasury will manage the Stockpile. Agencies must report their holdings and transfer authorities within 30 days.Full content of the Order is available here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/establishment-of-the-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-and-united-states-digital-asset-stockpile/
Driving Cryptocurrency Adoption
The global cryptocurrency market, currently valued at $4.25 trillion at the time of this release, is projected to continue to grow at a rapid pace while worldwide adoption is still in its infancy. Bitcoin, with a $2.45 trillion market cap, ranks as the world’s fifth-largest asset, fueling demand for accessible crypto solutions. Bitcoin Bancorp is capitalizing on this growth by expanding its Bitcoin ATM network and introducing AI-driven financial products.
“Our rebrand and changing of the company’s name to Bitcoin Bancorp better reflects our strategic vision to shape the future of Bitcoin-powered services,” said Eric Noveshen, Interim CFO of Bitcoin Bancorp. “With over an estimated 650 million worldwide crypto users currently and Bitcoin’s payment ecosystem expected to reach $3.79 trillion by 2031, we are building the infrastructure to make Bitcoin accessible to everyone.”
