Michael Saylor, the founder of the American publicly traded company and Bitcoin holding giant MicroStrategy, 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 engaged in relevant discussions with Trump.
Open to an Advisory Role
As the founder of MicroStrategy, the company that holds the most Bitcoin globally, Saylor was asked during a Bloomberg interview whether he might join the Trump administration. He maintained an open attitude.
When asked if he has met with Trump, Saylor merely smiled and said:
“I have met with many people in the government, but I cannot discuss the details.”
Although he did not directly acknowledge any connection with Trump, he emphasized his willingness to provide professional advice if invited to participate in a digital asset policy advisory committee. He stated:
“If I can assist in formulating constructive digital asset policies in a transparent manner, I would be happy to participate.”
Bitcoin Advocate Sparks Speculation
Speculation regarding Saylor potentially becoming a cryptocurrency advisor to the Trump administration arises from his recent meeting at Mar-a-Lago with Eric Trump, the second son of the elected President. He even revealed on social media that one of the topics discussed was Bitcoin. However, there is currently no concrete evidence indicating that Saylor has been invited or involved in any preparatory work.
Should Saylor indeed become part of the Trump administration, his role could solidify Trump’s support for Bitcoin. Trump has shown a friendly stance towards cryptocurrency since his campaign, considering individuals like David Sacks for a position as the White House’s artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency czar, and formally nominating cryptocurrency-friendly Paul Atkins for relevant duties at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
If Saylor participates in policy planning, the public anticipates that he will advocate for Bitcoin-first policies. He might even suggest leveraging the United States’ gold reserves to establish a national Bitcoin strategic reserve, viewing Bitcoin as an integral part of the national fiscal and financial system.
