Michael Saylor Invited to White House Crypto Summit Hosted by Trump

Michael Saylor, the founder of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) and a vocal Bitcoin advocate, announced on X on March 5, 2025, that he’s been tapped to attend President Donald Trump’s White House Digital Assets Summit on March 7.

In his post, Saylor shared the invite, signaling his role in what could be a game-changer for crypto in the U.S. The summit, chaired by venture capitalist David Sacks, will gather crypto founders, CEOs, investors, and top policymakers to hash out the future of digital assets, riding the wave of Trump’s recent push to make the U.S. a crypto powerhouse.

This event follows Trump’s March 2 announcement of a strategic reserve for digital coins, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano, marking a sharp pivot toward embracing crypto after years of regulatory tension under the Biden admin. Saylor’s presence is no surprise—he’s been shouting from the rooftops about Bitcoin, recently arguing on X that the U.S. should grab 10–20% of the Bitcoin network as a strategic reserve. He calls it “the greatest economic program of the 21st century,” claiming it could help tackle the U.S.’s massive national debt. With Bitcoin trading at $86,000 today (up 2.3%), his pitch feels timely amid Trump’s pro-crypto agenda.

The summit’s lineup will be leaner than expected, with a select group including Saylor, government officials from the Presidential Working Group on Digital Assets, and other crypto bigwigs like Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and Robinhood co-founder Vlad Tenev. A bigger reception nearby will catch the overflow for those not at the roundtable. It’s a tight guest list, but Saylor’s spot underscores his influence—Strategy holds over 250,000 BTC, making him a key voice in Trump’s vision to position the U.S. as the “crypto capital of the planet.” Whether this summit delivers on the hype or just stirs more noise, Saylor’s in the room to push his Bitcoin dream.
