Executive Order

Digital Assets Directive

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to promote national economic security, modernize public financial infrastructure, strengthen lawful administration of digital assets, and advance responsible innovation in distributed ledger technologies, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. Purpose and Policy.

The purpose of this order is to establish a coordinated Federal framework for the lawful custody, administration, and supervised deployment of digital-asset infrastructure in a manner that advances financial inclusion, technological leadership, administrative efficiency, and long-term sovereign fiscal resilience.

It is the policy of the United States to harness the potential of digital assets and distributed ledger technology to foster economic growth, broaden access to modern financial infrastructure, strengthen custodial integrity, and support multi-generational financial continuity. The integration of robust blockchain architecture with national identity frameworks may, when implemented consistent with applicable law, streamline federal asset distribution, secure reserve administration, and promote responsible innovation from birth forward.

Sec. 2. Definitions.

For the purposes of this order:

  1. "Federal Digital Assets Depository" means the newly established framework within the Department of the Treasury responsible for the oversight, issuance, and reserve management of federally coordinated digital assets.
  2. "Temporary Blockchain Wallet" refers to a state-sponsored cryptographic custody account initialized for an individual prior to the age of majority.
  3. "Stellar Blockchain" refers to the open-source, decentralized protocol for digital currency to fiat money transfers utilized for the initial deployment of the framework, chosen for its transaction efficiency and interoperability.

Sec. 3. Establishment of the Federal Digital Assets Depository/Repository.

The Secretary of the Treasury, in coordination with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Secretary of Commerce, and the heads of such other executive departments and agencies as the President may designate, shall establish the Federal Digital Assets Depository (FDAD). The FDAD shall serve as the central repository for the administration of sovereign cryptographic assets and shall maintain the technical infrastructure necessary to interface, as appropriate, with approved public and private distributed networks.

Sec. 4. Administration.

The Secretary of the Treasury shall administer the FDAD through such bureaus, offices, and interagency working groups as the Secretary deems appropriate. The Secretary may issue guidance, technical standards, custody protocols, and compliance requirements necessary to carry out this order, including standards governing wallet creation, access controls, audit logs, succession records, reserve treatment, and lawful suspension or transfer procedures.

Sec. 5. Newborn Digital Wallet Issuance.

Within 180 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Commissioner of Social Security, shall develop and implement a protocol for the issuance of a temporary blockchain wallet on the Stellar Blockchain for every child born to a United States citizen. These wallets shall be instantiated simultaneously with the issuance of a birth certificate and shall serve as the primary cryptographic node for the child's future sovereign economic interactions.

Sec. 6. The "Trump Account" Seed Allocation.

Subject to the availability of appropriations and lawful implementation by the Congress of the United States, each temporary blockchain wallet issued pursuant to Section 5 of this order shall be uniformly funded with a digital asset seed allocation equivalent to $1,000, designated herein as the "Trump Account." These funds shall be algorithmically locked for principal withdrawal until the beneficiary attains the age of majority, though structured yield generation may be permitted under FDAD guidelines.

Sec. 7. Identity Linkage and Administrative Coordination.

To ensure the integrity, non-duplication, and continuous custody of the digital wallets, the Commissioner of Social Security shall implement systems tying the issuance of the Social Security Number (SSN) directly to the designated cryptographic wallet record. This linkage shall serve as the primary verification vector for identity, continuity of custody, and inter-agency administrative coordination, strictly abiding by federal privacy statutes.

Sec. 8. Custody, Security, and AI-Enabled Fraud Monitoring.

The FDAD shall deploy advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning heuristics to establish dynamic risk-monitoring protocols across the decentralized repository. AI-enabled systems shall provide real-time auditing, detect anomalous transactional flows, and prevent cryptographic identity theft or custodial breaches, ensuring the inviolability of the newborn accounts.

Sec. 9. Federal Digital Treasury Liquidity and Continuity.

This decentralized framework is explicitly designed and intended to support deep systemic liquidity, structural continuity, and dynamic reserve management for a Federal Digital Treasury. By interlocking sovereign custodial assets with a continuous generational issuance protocol, the FDAD shall support enduring reserve visibility, lawful liquidity planning, and continuity of record for the nation's digital holdings for so long as the beneficiary remains living, and thereafter in accordance with lawful estate, succession, and archival requirements, subject in all respects to applicable law.

Sec. 10. Interoperability.

While the initial deployment shall occur on the Stellar Blockchain, the Secretary of the Treasury shall ensure the FDAD infrastructure is architected for cross-chain interoperability, avoiding vendor lock-in and allowing future migration or bridging to other secure, state-approved distributed ledger protocols as technological advancements dictate.

Sec. 11. Reporting and Implementation Deadlines.

The Secretary of the Treasury shall submit a comprehensive framework design to the Executive Office of the President within 90 days. The initial pilot deployment of the newborn digital wallet mechanism shall commence no later than 270 days following the execution of this directive.

Sec. 12. Severability.

If any provision of this order, or the application of any provision to any person or circumstance, is held to be invalid, the remainder of this order and the application of its other provisions to any other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.

Sec. 13. General Provisions.

(a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect: (i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or (ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.

(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
