President-elect Donald Trump plans to issue a day-one executive order to designate cryptocurrency as a national priority, according to sources familiar with the matter cited by Bloomberg. The forthcoming directive aims to elevate cryptocurrencies in national policy, establish a crypto advisory council to guide administration policy, and potentially halt federal litigation in the sector. Additionally, the Trump administration is considering the creation of a national Bitcoin stockpile. This move would make Trump the first U.S. President to declare cryptocurrency a national strategic priority, giving industry insiders greater influence within the administration.
