President Trump: I have set the ambitious goal that by the end of my term, the United States will be the number one lowest cost of energy and electricity of any nation on Earth. We can make it so inexpensively. Because of what we have under our feet, we can make it so inexpensively. And with low energy costs, America will become the world's undisputed bitcoin mining powerhouse.

President Trump: As the final part of my plan, today I am announcing that if I am elected, it will be the policy of my administration, United States of America, to keep one hundred percent of all the bitcoin the US Government currently holds or acquires into the future…this will serve, in effect, as the core of the Strategic National Bitcoin Stockpile.

President Trump: With your help, we will save our nation, we will restore Our Republic, and we will make America, and bitcoin, bigger, better, stronger, richer, freer, and greater than ever before.

Senator Blackburn [Bitcoin Conference]: A CBDC leads to that social credit score, it leads to the government telling you how you can. and can not, spend your own money…the federal government ought not to be messing with your transactional life. You want that freedom.
