In an interview on the 12th, President-elect Trump said, "We will do great things with cryptocurrencies." This once again emphasizes his positive attitude toward cryptocurrencies.
In addition, in relation to the current trend of other countries adopting cryptocurrencies, Trump said, "It is extremely important for the United States to be a leader in this field," and "We have to go further than other countries."
When asked about the need for a Bitcoin (BTC) reserve, which has been attracting attention, he replied, "I think so."
Regarding the Bitcoin reserve, Republican Texas Representative Giovanni Capriglione submitted a bill to establish one on the same day. This bill aims to establish a Bitcoin reserve in each state, and was submitted ahead of the transition of power. In the United States, with Trump showing a positive attitude toward cryptocurrencies, various states and other places are considering Bitcoin reserves.
Also, at the national level, Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis has already submitted a draft of the "Bitcoin Act of 2024." This bill calls for the United States to stockpile 1 million BTC as a strategic reserve. As the scale is larger than what Trump proposed, some adjustments are expected, but the possibility of it being realized will increase dramatically with the transition of power.
