President Donald Trump is gearing up to reveal a Bitcoin reserve strategy at the White House Crypto Summit on March 7, 2025, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed in an interview with The Pavlovic Today.
Lutnick said, “A Bitcoin strategic reserve is something the President’s interested in. He spoke about it all during the campaign trail, and I think you’re going to see it executed on Friday.” It’s a big moment for Trump, who’s been pushing to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the planet” since taking office, doubling down on digital assets after what he calls the Biden administration’s “corrupt attacks.”
The summit, led by venture capitalist David Sacks and Congressman Bo Hines, will be a smaller affair than expected, with a tight guest list of crypto heavyweights like Michael Saylor, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, Robinhood co-founder Vlad Tenev, and government officials from the Presidential Working Group on Digital Assets. A bigger reception’s planned nearby for others who didn’t make the cut.
This event ties into Trump’s January 2025 Executive Order 14178, which lays out a plan to boost crypto growth while giving Bitcoin a special spot as a strategic asset, setting it apart from other tokens like XRP, Solana, and Cardano, which Lutnick says will be treated “positively, but differently.”
