Trump is optimistic about bitcoin
Billy took over to x the details His conversation with Trump, where he wrote: “I just spoke with Donald Trump and thanked him for fulfilling his promises to our industry and Russians.

Thanks to President Trump for being the first president of the bitcoin. The promises were made, and the promises were fulfilled.
Thanks to Billy, whose company is BTC Inc. It is the mother organization of Bitcoin, long ago in helping Trump to change his BTC view from doubt to support.
Billy responded to a barrage of questions from users after his participation. One of the commentators asked whether Trump was aware of the concerns surrounding “fake currencies” in the US government’s stock of digital assets. Billy replied, “We talked for about 10 minutes. I covered some topics, everything related to bitcoin. I don’t think he is aware of this anxiety and did not affect it.”
Another user asked Billy to provide a guide, and he was suggested to recording the conversation next time. However, Billy stressed his commitment to privacy: “I will never register a private conversation with the president and publicly share it to score points on the Internet.”
When asked how to make a call, Billy revealed: “Call me … I was noticeable in advance.” In an additional statement, Emily Billy, the wife of Billy and head of the BTC Marketing Department, confirmed her husband’s account: “It can be confirmed. He called to say thanks to David and the Bitcoin industry. Most of the call was about Ross and Lin, justice and peace. It was just a friendly moment.”
Trump turned
David Billy’s reactions with Trump began when the former president was largely criticized the Bitcoin field. Over time, and through personal discussions, Billy and other defenders stressed the ways that bitcoin can enhance American technological leadership and energy independence.
These efforts reached its climax at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, where Trump publicly supported Bitcoin, backing from his previously skeptical position. During this event, he expressed his desire to “extract and manufacture all the remaining bitcoin coins in the United States of America”, and pledged to create a strategic reserve from Bitcoin if it was re -elected. He also promised to pardon Ross Olbricht, the founder of the dark web market of the Silk Road, the promise he made on January 21, 2025, shortly after his inauguration for his second term.
Since the executive order issued by Trump on encrypted currencies to create a “national stock of digital assets”, there has been a hot debate about encrypted currencies that might be included. Pierre Roshrard, Vice President of Research at Riot Platforms, and many other industry leaders, accused Ripple of being “the biggest obstacle” in front of the fully focused on BTC. They claim that Ripple spends large sums on pressure efforts to expand the reserve to a broader “encryption reserve”, and is supposed to include XRP.
Ripple executive officials have publicly denied any attempt to obscure Bitcoin. They argue that diversification of reserves to include multiple digital assets – including Bitcoin – enhances American innovation, allowing wider economic benefits and strong competition against other countries that enter the digital asset race.
At the time of publication, Bitcoin fell by -4.5 %, and was traded at $ 100455.
