Trump to Allow $9 Trillion in Pension Savings to Be Invested in Cryptocurrency
US President Donald Trump wants to allow $9 trillion in pension savings to be invested in cryptocurrency.
Sources familiar with the matter reported that Trump plans to sign an executive order this week, allowing Americans using the most popular retirement plan, 401(k), to invest their savings in alternative assets, such as digital currencies and precious metals. Currently, these funds are mainly used to purchase stocks and bonds.
However, White House spokesperson Kush Desai urged caution, stating:
“President Trump remains committed to restoring prosperity for all Americans and protecting their financial future. No decision should be considered official unless it comes directly from President Trump.”
If this information proves accurate and Trump signs the order, pension fund managers will start buying Bitcoin. Data from the past six years shows that BTC has significantly outperformed the Nasdaq-100 index, which tracks the performance of 100 leading companies. This makes cryptocurrency more attractive than traditional securities in terms of investment potential.

In 2025, lawmakers from the US state of North Carolina drafted a bill allowing up to 5% of pension savings to be invested in digital assets. Therefore, it is estimated that up to $450 billion (5% of the total $9 trillion in savings) could flow into virtual currencies.
