#TrumpAtDAS
Donald Trump made history by addressing the Digital Asset Summit (DAS) in New York City on March 20, 2025, marking the first time a sitting U.S. president has ever participated in a crypto conference ¹ ². His speech was pre-recorded, and he spoke about his administration's commitment to accumulating Bitcoin for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve ¹.
Trump's appearance at DAS comes after he signed an executive order establishing the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, positioning BTC as a key asset for the country's financial future ¹. This move has sparked legislative action, with Senator Cynthia Lummis and Congressman Nick Begich proposing plans for the U.S. to acquire 1 million BTC over the next five years ¹.
Other notable speakers at DAS included Strategy's Michael Saylor, Bitcoin historian Pete Rizzo, Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart, BlackRock's Head of Digital Assets Robbie Mitchnick, and Nasdaq's Head of U.S. Equities & Exchange-Traded Products Giang Bui ¹.
