The White House is reportedly preparing to create a strategic reserve of digital assets. The first Crypto Summit is set for Friday.
According to The Pavlovic Today, during the first White House Crypto Summit on Friday, March 7, the Trump administration will unveil its strategies for a strategic cryptocurrency reserve.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated that President Trump considers establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve a priority, while other cryptocurrencies will be treated “positively but differently.” Lutnick said:
“A Bitcoin strategic reserve is something the President’s interested in… and I think you’re going to see it executed on Friday.
So, Bitcoin is one thing, and then the other currencies, the other crypto tokens, I think, will be treated differently—positively, but differently.”
The event will feature key participants, including:
- David Sacks (Crypto Czar)
- Bo Hines (Executive Director of the Presidential Working Group on Crypto)
- Michael Saylor (co-founder of Strategy)
- Brian Armstrong (CEO of Coinbase)
- Arjun Sethi (co-CEO of Kraken)
- Sergey Nazarov (co-founder of Chainlink)
However, several aspects of the initiative remain unclear. First, the funding mechanism for the strategic reserve has not been disclosed. Additionally, the specific roles of the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department in managing and overseeing the reserve have yet to be determined. The implementation of this project will likely require new legislation approved by Congress.
