Eric Trump and Michael Saylor met in Mar-a-Lago, drawing attention to the future US administration's Bitcoin policy.
Meeting in the Context of Bitcoin
Eric Trump shared a photo with Michael Saylor, the Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy, captioned: "Two friends, one passion: Bitcoin." This meeting comes after Saylor's statement on advising Donald Trump on Bitcoin matters.
Trump Family's Involvement in Bitcoin Industry
The Trump family has been active in Bitcoin matters. In 2024, the President-elect focused on the industry by inviting American Bitcoin mining companies to Mar-a-Lago. Eric Trump attended the Bitcoin MENA Conference in Abu Dhabi, while Donald Trump Jr. appeared at Bitcoin 2024.
Planned Changes in US Cryptocurrency Policy
The incoming administration has announced changes in cryptocurrency policy, including plans to release certain Bitcoin advocates, support pro-Bitcoin legislation, and end 'Operation Chokepoint 2.0.' This contrasts with the stricter approach of the Biden-Harris administration.
The meeting between Eric Trump and Michael Saylor may indicate a forthcoming partnership between the new administration and Bitcoin industry leaders as the US prepares for regulatory shifts in cryptocurrency.
