Don’t Miss President Trump’s Keynote at Tomorrow’s Digital Assets Summit!

On March 20, President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak at Blockworks’ Digital Asset Summit (DAS) held in New York City. This event marks a historical moment, as it is the first occasion that a current U.S. president will participate in a conference focused on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. This underscores the increasing significance of digital currencies within the broader financial policy framework.

This engagement isn’t Trump’s first foray into the Bitcoin sphere; he previously addressed the largest Bitcoin gathering in Nashville last summer while running his campaign. His reappearance on this platform as president signals ongoing governmental support for Bitcoin.

Trump’s upcoming address at DAS follows his recent decision to formally incorporate Bitcoin into national strategies by signing an executive order that initiates the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, thereby elevating BTC as a crucial asset for America’s financial prospects.

Tomorrow’s speaker lineup at DAS will also feature Strategy’s Michael Saylor, who will present a keynote as well as engage in an in-depth discussion with Bitcoin historian Pete Rizzo. In addition, Bloomberg’s ETF analyst James Seyffart will lead a panel featuring Robbie Mitchnick, BlackRock’s Head of Digital Assets, alongside Giang Bui, Nasdaq’s Head of U.S. Equities & Exchange-Traded Products, to explore the shifting dynamics surrounding Bitcoin ETFs and the adoption of cryptocurrencies by institutions.

The announcement regarding Trump’s appearance follows comments made by Bo Hines, the Executive Director on Digital Assets for Trump, who spoke earlier at DAS. Hines reiterated the administration’s dedication to accumulating Bitcoin for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, asserting:

“It’s crucial that our President begins gathering assets for the American populace, which is precisely what President Trump is aiming to achieve rather than depleting them.”

He further accentuated the administration’s strategy to acquire Bitcoin in a manner that does not impact the budget, comparing Bitcoin to gold reserves:

“People frequently ask how much we want. That’s akin to asking a nation how much gold they desire — as much as possible.”

Trump’s executive order has already initiated legislative actions aimed at leveraging this momentum. Senator Cynthia Lummis and Congressman Nick Begich have each put forth proposals for the U.S. government to acquire 1 million BTC within the next five years, thereby securing a sustainable reserve of this finite asset. Earlier today at DAS, House Majority Whip and Congressman Tom Emmer expressed confidence that this legislation would be passed “before this Congress concludes.”
