Donald Trump Approves $1.2 Trillion Budget, Officially Bringing U.S. Government Shutdown to an End

Jakarta, Pintu News – US President Donald Trump has signed a $1.2 trillion government funding bill, ending a four-day federal government shutdown. The shutdown came as lawmakers failed to reach an agreement on critical spending measures.

This decision reduced political uncertainty and triggered a positive reaction in the crypto market, especially against Bitcoin.

The bill passed the House of Representatives by a narrow margin of 217 votes to 215. The law establishes 11 major annual budget packages that fund government programs and operations until the end of the fiscal year.

With the signing of this bill, most federal agencies will now remain operational until September 30, 2026.

Key Points in the Budget Bill

The newly passed bill brings a number of important changes, including:

• Funding cuts for NPR and PBS,
• Reduction of foreign aid by almost $10 billion,
• Military pay raise,
• Increased budget for deportation flights.

The bill also confirms the closure of USAID as part of budget reform.

However, not everything has been resolved yet. The budget for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is still under negotiation. Democrats are pushing for tighter restrictions on immigration enforcement actions.

The bill also exposed divisions within the Republican Party, as some members disagreed with certain parts of the spending plan.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has stated that they will not approve additional short-term funding for DHS unless major changes are made. This raises the potential for a partial government shutdown in the near future.

Impact of the Bill on the Crypto Market

Although this bill does not directly regulate crypto, its impact is still felt. After the signing, the Bitcoin price recovered slightly, rising from $75,600 to $77,310.

During the four-day government shutdown, some regulators such as the SEC and CFTC had limited operations, which slowed down the discussion of ETFs and crypto-related approvals.

With the government back in operation, important economic data such as the January jobs report and weekly unemployment benefit claims can now be released on time. This data heavily influences the Federal Reserve’s decisions, which has a huge impact on crypto price movements.
