Trump Adds Crypto to His America First Agenda – WSJ

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Donald Trump wants to be the crypto president.

The Republican presidential candidate was the keynote speaker Saturday at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville where he courted about 20,000 die-hard bitcoin believers and industry executives.

Trump said the reason he addressed the conference could be summed up in two words: America First. If crypto is going to define the future, I want it to be mined, minted and made in the USA, he said.

The former president made a series of promises to the industry in his 50-minute speech.

If elected president, Trump said he intends to create a strategic national bitcoin stockpile where the government would keep the tokens it holds or acquires. The crypto industry has long hoped that the U.S. would establish a bitcoin reserve comparable to its gold reserve to lend legitimacy to the cryptocurrency and stabilize its price.
