Trump to speak at Digital Asset Conference
U.S. President Donald Trump will address the Digital Asset Summit in new York this week. The event, happening on March 20, is a meaningful moment as it’s the first time a U.S. president will speak at a crypto event.
Trump’s speech is set for 10:40 a.m. ET at the North Javits Center. This comes after the white House showed interest in Bitcoin. The summit will explore the government’s role in digital assets.
Bo Hines, a White House advisor, hinted at the government’s growing interest in Bitcoin. He said, “We should gather assets for the American people, not take them away.”
recently, Trump signed an order to create a Strategic bitcoin Reserve. This move aims to secure Bitcoin for the nation. Lawmakers like Senator Cynthia Lummis and Congressman Nick Begich have proposed acquiring up to 1 million BTC.
trump’s executive order to establish a strategic Bitcoin Reserve will be funded by seized Bitcoin, not taxpayer money. The reserve aims to be a “digital Fort Knox,” with a full audit of federal digital assets.
other notable speakers at the summit include Michael Saylor and James Seyffart. They will discuss Bitcoin exchange-traded funds and institutional adoption.
