Trump’s Stance on Crypto as a Strategic Priority

Trump has already put his views on crypto out there, and he’s treated it as a national strategic priority for the U.S.

At the 2024 Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, he made it clear that the future of crypto — especially Bitcoin — should be built in America, not pushed out to other countries. He’s repeated this point across multiple policy announcements, warning that if the U.S. doesn’t create a supportive environment for digital assets, global competitors will be the ones who benefit.

Meanwhile, the current strategy only talks about “digital finance” in a broad, non-crypto way — focusing on global payment systems instead of actually addressing decentralized networks or the crypto ecosystem itself.
