U.S. President Donald Trump has declared that the United States will become the world’s Bitcoin superpower, signaling stronger political support for crypto. The comments came during the FII PRIORITY Miami 2026 summit, where he also praised Bitcoin’s growing influence in institutional investors.
Speaking at the summit, Trump said the United States aims to become the undisputed crypto capital of the world.
“Bitcoin Superpower of the World, Bitcoin is Very Powerful”
Since starting his term for the second time as U.S. president, Trump has become more supportive of crypto than ever. He said, “Bitcoin is very powerful,” and noted that more people now want to make payments with crypto.
This is very different from 2021, when he called Bitcoin “not money, it’s a scam.”
Meanwhile, Trump has shown support beyond words. Last year, he signed an executive order to make Bitcoin the Strategic Reserve.
He also backed the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, showing that his administration wants cryptocurrency included in the financial system.
Trump also highlighted crypto-focused legislation, including the Genius Act and the Clarity Act, which aim to provide regulatory clarity.
According to him, the goal is to end what he described as a “war on crypto” and instead encourage innovation. He stressed that supportive policies could help the U.S. lead global crypto adoption.
The remarks come as governments worldwide compete to attract blockchain companies and investment. By promoting crypto-friendly policies, the U.S. could position itself as a hub for exchanges, mining firms, and institutional investors.
Since Trump returned to office, Bitcoin has seen huge gains. In 2024, it was trading around its previous all-time high of $69,000, possibly boosted by the launch of Bitcoin ETFs and countries adding Bitcoin to their strategic reserves following the U.S. lead.
The rally continued, and in October 2025, Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $126,000, pushing its market cap to $4 trillion.
However, amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, Bitcoin and the broader crypto market have faced sharp declines. As of now, Bitcoin is trading around $66,415, showing the market’s sensitivity to global events.
