After the meeting, Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social saying that he wants all "remaining Bitcoin to be made in the USA" and that "It would help us be energy dominant."
Trump's supportive stance on Bitcoin is in stark contrast to his competitor, Joe Biden. The current administration, under Biden, has taken a hostile approach toward the industry, including reluctance to embrace Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Biden's administration has been seen as less supportive of Bitcoin, and more supportive of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).
A couple weeks ago, Donald Trump historically became the first U.S. President to accept Bitcoin Lightning Network donations, following comments he made recently saying that he wants the future of crypto to be in America, and not driven overseas due to harsh regulations. Trump also said he "will support the right to self custody to the nations 50 million crypto holders."
As Trump leads in the presidential race, his support for Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is earning him substantial backing from the crypto community. With over 50 million Bitcoin and cryptocurrency holders in the United States, Trump's commitment to the industry could play a pivotal role in securing a win in November.
