According to currently available information, there is no clear record of whether Trump specifically mentioned cryptocurrency in his speech to Congress on March 4, 2025 (Eastern Time). However, we can make reasonable inferences based on his historical attitudes and recent trends.
Trump's attitude towards cryptocurrency has evolved over the past few years. During his first term (2017-2021), he publicly criticized Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, calling them "not money" and expressing concerns that they could facilitate illegal activities such as drug trafficking. However, since leaving office, his stance seems to have softened. During the 2024 campaign, he explicitly expressed support for the cryptocurrency industry, promising that if elected, he would push for the U.S. to become the "crypto capital." He even accepted Bitcoin donations in 2024 and pledged to support blockchain innovation in public forums (such as the Bitcoin conference), aiming to reduce regulatory hurdles.
Considering that the March 2025 speech marks his first address to Congress during his second term and comes at a critical moment for fulfilling his campaign promises, it is very likely that cryptocurrency will be mentioned. He may incorporate it into his economic agenda, such as:
Promoting America's global competitiveness in blockchain technology to counter countries like China.
Proposing to reduce federal regulation on cryptocurrency or supporting "crypto-friendly" legislation.
Emphasizing the potential of cryptocurrency for economic growth and innovation, possibly linking it to policies such as tax cuts or attracting tech investment.
