President Donald Trump is expected to announce a significant shift in cryptocurrency policy this week, including plans for a Bitcoin strategic reserve, according to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
Speaking to Ksenija Pavlovic McAteer of The Pavlovic Today ahead of the first-ever White House crypto summit on Friday, Lutnik said Trump—who has increasingly aligned himself with the digital asset industry—will outline his vision for Bitcoin and broader cryptocurrency regulation.
“The President definitely thinks that there’s a Bitcoin strategic reserve,” Secretary Lutnick told The Pavlovic Today on Tuesday evening. “Now, there will be the question of, how do we handle the other cryptocurrencies? And I think the model is going to be announced on Friday when we do that.”
Lutnick suggested Bitcoin would receive unique status under Trump’s plans.
“A Bitcoin strategic reserve is something the President’s interested in. He spoke about it all during the campaign trail, and I think you’re going to see it executed on Friday,” Lutnick said.
“So Bitcoin is one thing, and then the other currencies, the other crypto tokens, I think, will be treated differently—positively, but differently,” he added.

Trump, who has positioned himself as a staunch advocate for the crypto industry, outlined his stance on Bitcoin strategic reserve in a recent post on Truth Social, stating:
“A U.S. Crypto Reserve will elevate this critical industry after years of corrupt attacks by the Biden Administration, which is why my Executive Order on Digital Assets directed the Presidential Working Group to move forward on a Crypto Strategic Reserve that includes XRP, SOL, and ADA. I will make sure the U.S. is the Crypto Capital of the World. We are MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
“And, obviously, BTC and ETH, as other valuable Cryptocurrencies, will be at the heart of the Reserve,” he said in a separate post. “I also love Bitcoin and Ethereum!”
The White House Crypto Summit, chaired by David Sacks and Bo Hines represents a significant step in the administration’s efforts to establish the U.S. as a global leader in digital finance. According to White House officials The Pavlovic Today spoke to, the crypto summit will serve as a critical forum to discuss regulatory clarity, financial innovation, and economic opportunities in the evolving digital asset landscape.
The summit follows Executive Order 14178, signed in Trump’s first week in office, outlining his administration’s commitment to the “responsible growth and use of digital assets.” The move marks a stark departure from the previous administration’s stricter regulatory stance, which led to heightened scrutiny and legal challenges for the crypto industry.
Trump’s push to establish the U.S. as the “crypto capital of the world” will attract innovators back to the country. Friday’s announcement could mark a turning point for the industry, reinforcing U.S. leadership in digital assets around the world.
