President Donald Trump is setting his sights on an unexpected move that could drastically alter the U.S. economic strategy, according to a new report by CoinDesk.

Better known for his political acumen than his cryptocurrency knowledge, Trump is planning to introduce a strategic national reserve of major digital assets, a departure from traditional economic thinking.

The initiative will see the President’s Working Group on Digital Assets include cryptocurrency giants such as XRP, Solana, and Cardano in a national capacity.

Earlier this year, Trump sparked controversy among Bitcoin maximalists with an executive order that appeared to set the stage for a U.S. Bitcoin standard. However, later pronouncements from the administration suggested that the administration was planning to include a range of digital assets in its economic strategy.

At the Bitcoin 2024 conference earlier this year, Trump told an energized audience that he would be rolling out an initiative to ensure that “they take every Bitcoin and put it into the national stockpile.”

"We are going to make sure that no Bitcoin, no Ether, no XRP, no Solana, no Cardano, no coin of any kind is lost to another country," Trump said.

"We are going to take them all and put them into the national stockpile, and we are going to make sure that we are not losing out on any cryptocurrency."

The move comes as several countries around the world are looking to integrate digital assets into their economic strategy, largely due to the potential for greater financial inclusion and innovation.

However, critics have warned of the potential risks, such as market volatility and cybersecurity threats, posed by holding large quantities of digital assets.

Despite this, Trump’s administration appears to be setting a course toward a future shaped by digital currencies, rather than a central bank digital currency.

The White House crypto summit will also serve as a meeting ground for discussing the future of crypto policies with the administration.
