Reserve Asset Strategy

Definition

A reserve asset strategy involves selecting and managing assets held to support financial obligations or maintain stability. This strategic approach defines which assets an entity, such as a stablecoin issuer or a central bank, will hold to back its liabilities or currency. The goal is to ensure liquidity, security, and value preservation, often through a diversified portfolio of traditional assets like government bonds or cash. In the digital asset context, it is critical for stablecoins to maintain their peg, ensuring they are reliably collateralized.
