#BTC☀️ #TRP #solana Trump to Announce Bitcoin Strategic Reserve at White House Crypto Summit
U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has revealed that President Donald Trump will introduce a Bitcoin strategic reserve as part of a broader cryptocurrency policy shift at the upcoming White House Crypto Summit on Friday, according to The Pavlovic Today.
A New Era for U.S. Crypto Policy
In an interview with The Pavlovic Today, Lutnick confirmed that Trump’s announcement will lay out his administration’s vision for Bitcoin and cryptocurrency regulation, marking a major departure from previous policies.
“The President definitely thinks that there’s a Bitcoin strategic reserve,” Lutnick stated. “The key question now is how we handle other cryptocurrencies. I believe the administration’s model for that will be unveiled on Friday.”
Trump has positioned himself as a strong advocate for digital assets, recently declaring on Truth Social that the Crypto Strategic Reserve will include Bitcoin (BTC), XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA).
Bitcoin to Hold Special Status?
Lutnick suggested that Bitcoin would receive distinct treatment in the administration’s crypto policy, setting it apart from other digital currencies.
“Bitcoin is one thing,” Lutnick noted, “and then the other cryptocurrencies, the other tokens, will be treated differently—positively, but differently.”
The White House Crypto Summit, led by David Sacks and Bo Hines, will focus on regulatory clarity, financial innovation, and the role of digital assets in the U.S. economy. White House officials emphasize that the summit will be instrumental in shaping policies that could position the U.S. as a global leader in cryptocurrency.
A Shift from Previous Administrations
This announcement follows Executive Order 14178, signed during Trump’s first week in office, signaling a shift toward a more crypto-friendly regulatory environment compared to the previous administration.
