- Trump’s plan to make the U.S. a “crypto capital” could fuel Bitcoin’s growth, hitting new highs and strengthening its role in the economy.
- GOP-backed “Bitcoin Act” could ease the U.S. debt by creating a national Bitcoin reserve, sparking institutional interest and adoption.
- Bitcoin’s surge to $75K reflects rising demand, with Trump’s strategy potentially securing the U.S. a leading global role in digital assets.
Chinese media covered Donald Trump’s pledge to make the U.S. the “world’s crypto capital” and establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve. The report highlights the asset’s soaring demand and the growing fears of a potential US economic collapse, coming as Bitcoin hits an all-time high of $75,000.
Rising Bitcoin Price and Strategic Reserve
Bitcoin’s price surge has coincided with increasing interest from American policymakers. Market analysts link this price jump to the GOP’s commitment to clear crypto regulations, with Trump and allies pledging support for the industry.
Notably, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis introduced the “Bitcoin Act” this year, pushing for a strategic Bitcoin reserve. This initiative seeks to combat the national debt by acquiring 1 million BTC over the next five years.
The act’s details reveal a long-term strategy; it mandates that Bitcoin holdings be stored in secure government-managed vaults for at least 20 years. Lummis’s proposal mirrors Trump’s vision from his recent keynote speech, where he proposed leveraging Bitcoin to offset the U.S. debt, now nearing $36 trillion.
The Impact on U.S. and Global Crypto Markets
The potential impact on the crypto sector is immense. Analysts, including James Butterfill of CoinShares, predict that establishing Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset could spark significant institutional interest.
This shift could drive further price appreciation and elevate Bitcoin to a status akin to gold in U.S. fiscal policy. Additionally, Trump’s vision includes pausing the sale of Bitcoin seized in law enforcement operations, instead directing it towards the national reserve.
Trump’s broader agenda aligns with the GOP’s crypto-focused policies. Industry leaders believe that, much like the space race, the U.S. will bring enthusiasm and momentum to this crypto adoption wave. This shift could secure the U.S. a dominant role in digital assets, rivaling China’s crypto influence.
