U.S. President Donald Trump recently stated that Bitcoin could potentially be included in the newly launched 'Trump Account' savings plan. He publicly declared himself a 'super fan of cryptocurrency', showcasing his positive attitude towards the digital asset industry.

Trump made this statement during the launch ceremony of the 'Trump Account' in the Oval Office on Monday. He not only rang the opening bell for the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ—marking the first time in White House history that both exchanges were honored simultaneously—but also witnessed this significant moment alongside several high-profile figures. These included Treasury Secretary Scott Bessenet, Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins, leaders from the NYSE and NASDAQ, and tech industry luminaries Michael Dell and his wife, who pledged over $6 billion to support this children's savings plan.

When asked whether the 'Trump Account' would include Bitcoin, Trump did not provide a specific timeline but clearly signaled openness. 'Yes, something could happen,' he replied, taking the opportunity to elaborate on his changing attitude towards cryptocurrency.

Trump stated, 'I am now a super fan of cryptocurrency. I became a strong supporter of cryptocurrency for one reason—if we don’t seize it, China will get ahead of us; they really want to dominate this field. But now they are not trying as hard because we have taken the lead in cryptocurrency, and I am a fan of it.'

He also reflected on his transformation: 'Initially, I didn’t understand this field. During the first half of my term, I didn’t participate much, just occasionally keeping an eye on it. But later I found that a large number of people are very passionate about cryptocurrency. As a businessman, I also saw a lot of money flowing into the Bitcoin market.'

Trump emphasized that the scale of Bitcoin usage has reached a level that 'no one really fully understands.' He repeatedly linked this issue to U.S.-China competition, asserting that the U.S. must maintain its lead in the digital asset space, or risk falling behind its rivals.

At the same event, Trump also discussed other topics. He stated that the U.S. is leading China in the field of artificial intelligence, thanks to his open policies on energy permits for data centers, while criticizing renewable energy forms like wind power. Additionally, he confirmed that he had spoken with FIFA President Gianni Infantino about the red card suspension of U.S. player Folarin Balogun, and that the FIFA independent committee ultimately lifted the ban, although this decision sparked dissent from countries like Belgium.

What is the 'Trump Account'?

The 'Trump Account' is a tax-advantaged investment account established under the 'Great American Act' signed by Trump in 2025, also known as the 530A account. The plan is set to officially launch on July 4, 2026, with each account designed for children, where the government will deposit a one-time seed fund of $1,000 for eligible children. U.S. citizen children born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, will receive federal funding, and families can contribute an additional $5,000 annually. The funds will be locked until the child turns 18, at which point the account will automatically convert to a traditional individual retirement account.

This plan aims to help the younger generation accumulate wealth while injecting long-term capital into the U.S. capital markets. The significant donations from tech figures like Michael Dell and his wife further highlight the plan's appeal.

Continuation of Trump's Cryptocurrency Policies

Trump's latest remarks align with his pro-cryptocurrency policies since his second term began. In March 2025, he signed an executive order formally establishing a U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve and digital asset reserve, directing the government to no longer sell Bitcoin held through confiscation. At that time, the U.S. government held over 207,000 Bitcoins, valued at nearly $17 billion.

In July 2025, he signed the 'Genius Act', which is the first significant federal cryptocurrency legislation in the U.S., establishing a regulatory framework for stablecoin payments. Additionally, his administration relaxed enforcement measures from the previous administration at the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission, and lifted some restrictions on banks participating in cryptocurrency activities. Currently, the broader market structure bill, the 'Clarity Act', is still under congressional review.

Trump's public support for Bitcoin entering children's savings accounts not only boosts market confidence but also clearly conveys the U.S. determination to dominate the global cryptocurrency space. Against the backdrop of U.S.-China technological competition, this signal is significant for the entire industry. In the future, whether Bitcoin will truly be included in the 'Trump Account' and the speed of related policy implementation will remain focal points of market attention.
