A Bitcoin-Friendly President? Yes, A Crypto-Focused Strategy? Not Yet

The Doctrine and Paradox

President Trump’s new National Security Strategy (NSS) identifies AI, biotech, and quantum computing as core pillars of US defense, but notably excludes blockchain.

This omission contrasts sharply with the administration’s aggressive financial support for the crypto industry, including the proposed US Bitcoin Reserve and the dismissal of SEC lawsuits against several crypto firms.

Trump’s Crypto Support Actions

President Donald Trump, who once spoke at a Bitcoin conference about making the US a global crypto leader, has taken significant steps to support the industry. About a year ago, Bitcoin reached a historic $100,000, and since taking office, his government has acted on several crypto-related fronts:

• The Securities and Exchange Commission dropped lawsuits against several crypto firms, removing years of regulatory uncertainty
• Trump announced the creation of a US government Bitcoin reserve, a national stockpile of digital coins

Crypto Left Out of the New Agenda

However, Trump’s new national security strategy includes artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and quantum computing as the main areas to secure America’s technological leadership. Digital assets and blockchain were notably absent from the report.

The new national security strategy outlines Trump’s vision for rebuilding US economic strength, with energy as another priority. The strategy states: “We want to remain the world’s most scientifically and technologically advanced and innovative country, and to build on these strengths. And we want to protect our intellectual property from foreign theft.”

The omission of blockchain and Bitcoin from the national security strategy signals that the administration may see digital assets mainly as financial tools rather than strategic technologies.

However, one crypto commentator noted: “Not worried. National security strategy is about hard tech, and crypto is already a freedom and market layer, not a weapons platform. Trump will back builders and keep the US the home of Bitcoin either way.”

Bitcoin Price Action

Bitcoin has moved back above $90,000 and is trading near $91,452, but the market remains quiet and choppy. The price is stuck between support and resistance, with no clear breakout yet.

Bitcoin was rejected near $92,700, and it needs to move above $92,959 to show stronger upside momentum toward $96,800 or even $100,000. For now, it’s normal sideways consolidation, and analysts say there’s no strong signal in either direction yet.
