A lot of people still seemed surprised and don't understand the reason. Money talks. When Trump received all the campaign donations from crypto lobbyists, he made promises to do things like this. Which is why he announced the shitcoins before the Bitcoin. Likely aimed to pump their bags so they could offload on retail a bit before he said anything about the main assets of Bitcoin and Ethereum. And he also clearly doesn't care about the naming of it, referring to it as a reserve instead of a stockpile. Announcing crypto also indicates that he plans to actively buy to add to the reserve. Whether or not this extends to Bitcoin is another question though.
