Summary

President Trump said bitcoin could be considered for inclusion in Trump Accounts, new tax-advantaged investment vehicles for children, while describing himself as a “big crypto guy.” He said his support for crypto is driven by strategic competition, adding: “I've become a big crypto guy only for one reason: if we don't have it China is going to have it.” The remarks signal a potentially broader openness to digital assets within a savings structure designed for minors, though no formal policy change or product details were outlined in the source.
