U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick gave an interview to Bitcoin Magazine. In it, he talked about how the first 100 days of Donald Trump's presidency went, the role of bitcoin in the economy and politics of the U.S., and measures aimed at supporting the mining industry.

According to Lutnick, he, Trump, and the so-called crypto czar David Sachs are long-time supporters of bitcoin and crypto assets in general. This is what allowed for the rapid realization of the president's campaign promises, the politician noted.

This, in particular, concerns the creation of a strategic bitcoin reserve. However, this decision ultimately caused some disappointment due to the U.S. abandoning active purchases of the first cryptocurrency.
