Trump Initiates Bitcoin Reserve Amid Crypto Talks
In a surprising move, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to establish a strategic bitcoin reserve just before a pivotal meeting with cryptocurrency executives at the White House. This reserve, spearheaded by White House crypto czar David Sacks, will utilize bitcoin from federal asset forfeiture events. The reserve aims to showcase and leverage the U.S. government’s strategic position in the cryptocurrency space, potentially influencing Nigeria, Abuja, and Lagos news by spotlighting America’s evolving financial strategies.
