The post “US Will Lead as Global Bitcoin & Crypto Superpower,” Says President Donald Trump appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
U.S. President Donald Trump has declared that the United States will become the world’s Bitcoin superpower, signaling stronger political support for crypto. The comments came during the FII PRIORITY Miami 2026 summit, where he also praised Bitcoin’s growing influence in institutional investors.
Trump Backs Bitcoin, Calls U.S. Future Crypto Capital
Speaking at the summit, Trump said the United States aims to become the undisputed crypto capital of the world.
“Bitcoin Superpower of the World, Bitcoin is Very Powerful”
Since starting his term for the second time as U.S. president, Trump has become more supportive of crypto than ever. He said, “Bitcoin is very powerful,” and noted that more people now want to make payments with crypto.
This is very different from 2021, when he called Bitcoin “not money, it’s a scam.”
Meanwhile, Trump has shown support beyond words. Last year, he signed an executive order to make Bitcoin the Strategic Reserve.
He also backed the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, showing that his administration wants cryptocurrency included in the financial system.
Trump Pushes Crypto-Friendly Legislation to Boost U.S. Innovation
Trump also highlighted crypto-focused legislation, including the Genius Act and the Clarity Act, which aim to provide regulatory clarity.
According to him, the goal is to end what he described as a “war on crypto” and instead encourage innovation. He stressed that supportive policies could help the U.S. lead global crypto adoption.
The remarks come as governments worldwide compete to attract blockchain companies and investment. By promoting crypto-friendly policies, the U.S. could position itself as a hub for exchanges, mining firms, and institutional investors.
Bitcoin Price Reaction
Since Trump returned to office, Bitcoin has seen huge gains. In 2024, it was trading around its previous all-time high of $69,000.
The rally continued, and in October 2025, Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $126,000, pushing its market cap to $4 trillion. This was mainly due to the launch of Bitcoin ETFs and countries adding Bitcoin to their strategic reserves following the U.S. lead.
However, amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, Bitcoin and the broader crypto market have faced sharp declines. As of now, Bitcoin is trading around $66,415, showing the market’s sensitivity to global events.
