In Miami, Donald Trump reaffirmed his determination to make the United States the “Bitcoin superpower,” positioning himself as a defender of an industry unfairly attacked under Biden.
He believes that Bitcoin does not threaten the dollar but strengthens it, and applauds the creation of a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” and a “Digital Asset Stockpile” as signs of Washington’s pro-crypto shift.
Despite ambitious rhetoric towards China and a decidedly business-friendly tone, no concrete measures or precise roadmap have been announced by the Trump administration yet.
The Return of the “Business-Friendly Trump”
In Miami, Donald Trump has revived his pro-crypto crusade with a triumphant tone. Addressing a gathering of entrepreneurs at the America Business Forum, the American president displayed a clear ambition: to make the United States “the Bitcoin superpower and the global capital of cryptos.”
“We ended the federal war against crypto,” he declared, congratulating himself on his “historic” executive orders meant to turn the page on the Biden years, accused of “hounding sector players.”
“Crypto was under siege. It’s not under siege anymore,” he emphasized.
The Return of the “Business-Friendly Trump”
The former real estate magnate presented himself as a protector of an industry now central to the American economy. “This is a great industry, led by great entrepreneurs. Many of my friends are part of it,” he underscored, emphasizing the role of private innovation in national competitiveness.
But behind this conquering rhetoric, no new concrete measures have been announced. No timetable, no precise directives to federal agencies. For now, Trump is relying on an image effect: that of a president who understands the crypto revolution and wants to place it at the heart of American economic strategy.
Bitcoin, a Pillar of the Dollar?
Trump’s key argument is simple: Bitcoin does not threaten the dollar, it reinforces it.
According to him, digital assets “ease pressure on the dollar” and “do a lot of good for the American economy.” This position is diametrically opposed to that of the previous administration, which he accuses of having “persecuted” the sector.
This vision is in line with recent movements by the White House: the creation of a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” and a “Digital Asset Stockpile”, using cryptos from judicial seizures.
However, no direct acquisition of bitcoins has been made to date, but the message is clear: Washington wants to keep a foot in the crypto sphere without giving up the primacy of the dollar.
The Rivalry with China in the Background
Trump did not fail to mention global competition: “If we don’t do things right, China will do it in our place.”
Behind this statement lies a strategic assessment: major powers are also arming themselves in the battle of Web3, and Beijing is advancing fast. The issue goes beyond simple Bitcoin adoption; it touches on monetary and technological sovereignty.
A Vision Without a Roadmap
In practice, the Miami speech remains primarily a political manifesto. Trump promises American leadership on Bitcoin and artificial intelligence, without detailing how these ambitions will be coordinated.
The only recent legislative advancement, the GENIUS Act adopted in July, regulates stablecoins and paves the way for a more regulated market, without however defining an overall framework for crypto assets.
Trump is playing a clear card: that of a president who understands the times. The question remains whether his “Bitcoin Superpower Plan” will go beyond the slogan stage to embody a real monetary innovation policy.
