The post White House Releases Crypto Plan, But Bitcoin Reserve Details Missing appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
The White House just released its latest crypto report—but there’s a key thing missing: any mention of a strategic Bitcoin reserve. Despite growing calls for the U.S. to consider holding BTC as a national asset, the report stays silent on the idea.
Trump’s Bold Crypto Push
President Trump’s pro-crypto administration is gearing up to launch what it’s calling America’s “golden age of crypto.” But there was no mention of the government creating a Bitcoin or digital asset reserve, a move many in the crypto world have been eagerly anticipating.
Trump’s team is laying out a bold new crypto playbook, starting with a clear call for the SEC and CFTC to step up. They are urging regulators to clear the fog around digital asset trading by giving guidance on things like registration, custody, and recordkeeping.
DeFi, Stablecoins Get Boost in Trump’s Crypto Plan
There is also strong support for DeFi integration into traditional finance. The plan recommends tools like safe harbors and regulatory sandboxes to speed up innovation and bring new financial products to market without red tape.
Furthermore, after the backlash over “Operation Choke Point 2.0,” the plan calls for more transparency on how crypto firms can get access to banking and clearer capital rules. The group is also pushing for clearer rules on how crypto companies can get bank licenses and how banks should handle crypto-related risks.
Stablecoins also get a major boost. The report backs quick implementation of the GENIUS Act, recently signed by Trump, and calls USD-pegged stablecoins a way to strengthen the dollar’s global role. As for CBDCs, the plan supports banning them outright with the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act.
Trump’s Crypto Plan Eyes Tax Clarity
The President’s Working Group is urging the Treasury and IRS to revisit old tax guidance on crypto, especially around mining, staking, and small transactions. There is also a call to clarify how the corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT) applies to digital assets.
The working group says these steps are key to helping the U.S. lead the global blockchain race and enter what it calls a “Golden Age of Crypto.” A full report is expected soon, outlining Trump’s complete crypto strategy.
Even without mention of a Bitcoin reserve, the White House’s new crypto plan signals a major shift towards clear rules, tax guidance, and strong support for stablecoins and DeFi. It’s a big step toward U.S. crypto leadership.
