Former President Donald Trump Unveils U.S. Bitcoin Strategy
According to Bloomberg, Former President Donald Trump declared his commitment to retaining the United States’ Bitcoin holdings, which currently amount to approximately $14 billion, mostly acquired through Department of Justice seizures. He proposed maintaining these assets as a “Strategic National Bitcoin Stockpile,” emphasizing that his administration would adhere to the principle of never selling off Bitcoin.
“If I am elected, it will be the policy of my administration to keep 100% of Bitcoin the U.S. government holds or acquires into the future. This will serve in effect as the core of the strategic national bitcoin stockpile,” Trump said. He suggested that this policy would support Bitcoin’s value and enhance the U.S.’s position as a global Bitcoin leader.
In addition to his Bitcoin pledge, Trump promised to overhaul financial regulatory bodies by firing SEC Chair Gary Gensler and appointing crypto-friendly regulators. He also proposed creating a crypto industry advisory council, developing a stablecoin framework, and reducing regulatory enforcement.
The speech followed a similar crypto pledge from presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who proposed increasing U.S. Bitcoin holdings to match gold reserves.
Trump’s Campaign Boosted by Crypto Supporters
The former president’s address came amid a turbulent period in the 2024 election cycle, which saw a failed assassination attempt against him and President Biden’s announcement of not seeking re-election. Trump’s campaign, which has started accepting cryptocurrency donations, has raised $4 million in digital assets to date.
Trump’s speech was met with enthusiasm from the audience, including notable crypto supporters like the Winklevoss twins, whom Trump praised.
