There is no SharePoint out of the box way to store/save the value of ID in another column. Possible workarounds:

To store the value in another column:

Using Power Automate flow/workflow - Recommended
Calculated column with formula =[ID] - Not recommended (Works inconsistently)

To show the value in another column in document library/list view:

In SharePoint online modern experience, you can use JSON column formatting to show the value of ID column in another column in library/list view. Use below JSON for this:

{
   "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
   "elmType": "div",
   "txtContent": "[$ID]"
}
