- Prominent economist Peter Schiff has raised concerns regarding the true motives behind former President Donald Trump‘s approach to retaining Bitcoin.
On Monday, Schiff expressed his skepticism on X about Trump’s proposal to utilize confiscated Bitcoin for establishing a strategic U.S. reserve. He suggested that if Trump genuinely aimed to execute this plan, he would have kept it confidential until he returned to office.
If #Trump really intended to use seized #Bitcoin to start a U.S. "strategic" reserve, he'd have kept his intention a secret until he was actually in office. Now that the #Biden administration is wise to his plan, they'll make sure to sell every Satoshi before Trump takes office.

“Now that the Biden administration is aware of his plan, they’ll ensure to sell every Satoshi before Trump assumes office,” the Bitcoin critic stated.

During his keynote address at a Bitcoin conference, Trump promoted the idea of a strategic national Bitcoin reserve. He assured that if he were to regain the presidency, the U.S. government would maintain its Bitcoin assets.
While this approach has received praise from cryptocurrency supporters, Peter Schiff was notably critical. He questioned the rationale behind holding Bitcoin if it is never sold, likening it to enduring poverty while possessing a significant amount of the cryptocurrency.
