I believe it, though. Not that I think Trump particularly cares, but he knows this is the kind of thing that appeals to bitcoiners and he's trying to win votes.

And it kinda makes sense, anyway. IMO any country would be smart to buy bitcoin when the price is still low, on the very real possibility that it becomes the globally accepted monetary asset. Relative to the size of U.S. fiscal spending, any investment in bitcoin right now would be a drop in the bucket. The tricky part is managing keys and custody. I have no idea how I'd trust the government to do that properly.
