In a dramatic twist, the new U.S. national security strategy released under President Trump completely skipped Bitcoin and blockchain, despite earlier pro-crypto executive actions.

Crypto advocates were stunned — expecting Bitcoin to be declared a strategic asset — only to find zero reference in the document.

The omission has sparked fierce debate:

Is the administration pulling back?

Is the internal government divided on crypto policy?

Or is a bigger regulatory overhaul coming?

One analyst described the document as “a ghost town where Bitcoin’s name should have been.”

Markets are now waiting to see if this silence is a pause — or the calm before a regulatory storm.
