Will Trump Mine Bitcoin?
Several fascinating social media postings and remarks over the past week have raised suspicions that the US Department of Defense (DoD) may soon join Bitcoin mining. Michelle Weekley, Director of Product at Byte Federal, a prominent Bitcoin ATM operator, suggested the notion in an X post.
The initial post by Michael Saylor said, “₿ig things are coming.” The March 11, 2025, statement has 4.8 million views. MicroStrategy Executive Chairman and Co-Founder Saylor attended the inaugural White House Crypto Summit 10 days ago and had over 500,000 BTC in Bitcoin. His enigmatic tweet sparked quick conjecture.
Matthew Pines' second screenshot, dated March 14, 2025, with 67,000 views, says, “The room where it happened.” The Washington, DC-based Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI) sponsored the “Bitcoin For America” symposium last week under Pines' Executive Directorship. Senator Cynthia Lummis reintroduced the BITCOIN Act, which requires the US to buy 1 million BTC.
In his third tweet, David Bailey said, “When you think the show is over but it's really just beginning. Expect a significant month,” followed by "Embrace the Game Theory," echoing Saylor's prediction of "big things coming." Bailey, CEO of BTC Inc., parent company of Bitcoin Magazine and The Bitcoin Conference, helped convert Donald Trump pro-BTC throughout his presidential campaign.
Jason Lowery's fourth tweet read, “Give it about 3 weeks and it should become more obvious,” echoing another tweet on a profile image update. Lowery, a US Space Force officer and author of “Softwar,” has argued that Bitcoin's proof-of-work system might be strategic national defense.
Following President Donald Trump's Executive Order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, “The Secretaries of Treasury and Commerce are authorized to develop budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional Bitcoin, provided that those strategies impose no incremental costs on American taxpayers.”
