\nPresident Trump Signals Openness to Bitcoin in Trump Accounts, Calls Himself \u2018a Big Fan of Crypto\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

President Donald Trump said earlier today that Bitcoin could one day play a role in the new Trump Accounts savings program, telling reporters that \u201csomething could happen\u201d when asked whether the accounts might hold the cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n

Trump made the comments Monday during an Oval Office ceremony marking the launch of Trump Accounts<\/a>. In a first-of-its-kind event, he rang the opening bells for both the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq from the Oval Office, a joint bell-ringing that had never been conducted from the White House.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He was joined by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins, leaders of the NYSE and Nasdaq, and technology executive Michael Dell and his wife, Susan, who pledged more than $6 billion to supplement the accounts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve become a big crypto guy\u2026I\u2019m a fan.\u201d \"\ud83d\udc40\" pic.twitter.com\/wvrQHVobu4<\/a><\/p>\n

What Trump said about bitcoin<\/h2>\n

Pressed on whether there were plans to add Bitcoin to the accounts, Trump did not commit to a timeline but used the moment to describe his shift toward digital assets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I\u2019m a big crypto. I\u2019ve become a big crypto guy only for one reason,\u201d he said. \u201cIf we don\u2019t have it, China is going to have it, and they would like to have it. But now they\u2019re not even trying that hard because we\u2019ve taken over crypto, but I\u2019m a fan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump said his interest developed over time. \u201cI wasn\u2019t initially. I didn\u2019t know much about it, but for some of my first term I wasn\u2019t really, I wasn\u2019t much involved, but I\u2019d watch,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He credited the sector\u2019s scale and its appeal to voters for drawing him in: \u201cI realized there are a lot of people love crypto and even me as a businessman, I\u2019d see a lot of money starting to come in with Bitcoin.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said Bitcoin was being used \u201cat levels that nobody\u2026understands really\u201d and repeated his framing of competition with China.<\/p>\n

The president also veered into other subjects. He said the United States leads China in artificial intelligence, tying that lead to his approach on energy permitting for data centers while criticizing wind power.\u00a0He also confirmed he had spoken with FIFA President Gianni Infantino to seek a review of U.S. forward Folarin Balogun\u2019s red card suspension. FIFA\u2019s independent board reversed the ban on Sunday, a decision that drew objections from Belgium and other figures in the sport. Belgium has appealed the reversal. <\/p>\n

What Trump Accounts are<\/h2>\n

Trump Accounts, created<\/a> under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that Trump signed in 2025 and referred to in Treasury guidance as 530A accounts, launched July 4, 2026. Each is a tax-advantaged investment account for a child.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On July 4, the government deposited one-time $1,000 seed contributions into accounts for more than 500,000 children. Children born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, who are U.S. citizens qualify for that federal deposit, and families can contribute up to $5,000 a year. Funds are locked until age 18, when the account converts to a traditional individual retirement account.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s record on crypto<\/h2>\n

The remarks fit a pattern from Trump\u2019s second term. In March 2025, he signed<\/a> an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, directing that Bitcoin held through forfeiture be retained rather than sold; the government held more than 207,000 Bitcoin at the time, valued near $17 billion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In July 2025, he signed<\/a> the GENIUS Act, the first major federal crypto law, setting a framework for payment stablecoins. His administration has eased Biden-era enforcement at the Justice Department and SEC and rolled back restrictions on banks\u2019 crypto activities. A broader market-structure bill, the CLARITY Act, remains in Congress.<\/p>\n
