BREAKING: Donald Trump announces that he will create a US government Bitcoin strategic reserve if elected president.

This would be a stockpile of Bitcoin similar to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Former U.S. President Donald Trump promised to build a “strategic Bitcoin stockpile” for the United States at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville on Saturday. The Republican presidential candidate's keynote address followed a week of growing rumors and reports on the matter with a relatively vague announcement to the packed room of Bitcoiners. "As the final part of my plan today, I am announcing that if I am elected, it will be the policy of my administration, the United States of America, to keep 100% of all the Bitcoin the U.S. government currently holds or acquires into the future,” Trump said. “I hope you do well.” Source: Decrypt Activate to view larger image,
