MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor expressed that he would be willing to participate in discussions on cryptocurrency policy as an advisor if invited by the Trump administration.
(Background: Michael Saylor announced that he would destroy all Bitcoin private keys after his death, contributing to every individual holding BTC in the world.)
(Additional context: Michael Saylor met with Trump’s second son! 77% of investors online expressed that they would increase their Bitcoin holdings by 2025.)
Michael Saylor, the founder of publicly traded MicroStrategy, which holds the largest amount of Bitcoin, stated that he is open to providing constructive advice on cryptocurrency policy if needed by the Trump administration. However, he did not disclose whether he has had any related discussions with Trump.
Open Attitude Towards Advisory Role
During an interview with Bloomberg, when asked if he might join the Trump administration, Saylor indicated an open attitude. When asked whether he had met with Trump, Saylor simply smiled and said, “I have met with many people in the government, but I cannot elaborate on the details.”
While he did not directly acknowledge any connections with Trump, he emphasized that he would be willing to provide professional advice if invited to participate in a digital asset policy advisory committee. He stated, “If I can assist in the development of constructive digital asset policy in a public and transparent manner, I would be happy to participate.”
Bitcoin Advocate Sparks Speculation
Speculation about Saylor potentially becoming a cryptocurrency advisor to the Trump administration stems from his recent meeting with Eric Trump, the second son of the elected president, at Mar-a-Lago. He also revealed on social media that one of the topics discussed was Bitcoin. However, there is currently no concrete evidence that Saylor has been invited or involved in any related preparatory work.
If Saylor were to become a member of the Trump administration, his role could solidify Trump’s support for Bitcoin. Trump has shown a friendly stance towards cryptocurrencies since his campaign, considering figures like David Sacks for the position of White House cryptocurrency and AI czar, and formally nominating crypto-friendly Paul Atkins for relevant roles at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Should Saylor indeed participate in policy planning, there is an expectation that he would advocate for Bitcoin-prioritized policies. He may even suggest leveraging the U.S. gold reserves to establish a national strategic reserve for Bitcoin, viewing it as an integral part of the national financial and economic system.
