New National Security Strategy Fails to Acknowledge Bitcoin’s Potential, While AI and Quantum Technologies Are Highlighted

71

The recently published 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS) from the Trump administration does not address digital assets or blockchain technology. Instead, the 33-page document emphasizes artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and quantum computing.

Released on Friday, the NSS serves as a significant policy document crafted by the White House. These policy papers outline the President’s perspective on global threats and opportunities.

The administration, which has shown support for the crypto sector, has taken notable actions for the industry, such as forming the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets, enacting the GENIUS Act for stablecoin regulation, and halting several enforcement actions against cryptocurrency companies.

Nonetheless, the absence of any reference to Bitcoin in discussions regarding global economic policy indicates that digital assets are not included in primary security considerations.

“We want to ensure that U.S. technology and U.S. standards — particularly in AI, biotech, and quantum computing — drive the world forward,” stated the national security strategy.

Additionally, Trump, who campaigned on the promise of becoming the “crypto president,” initiated a strategic national Bitcoin reserve. However, he later clarified that this reserve would be financed through seized Bitcoin rather than new acquisitions.

Trump’s Stance on Crypto as a National Strategic Concern

The President has previously made firm public commitments, framing digital assets as a national strategic concern for the United States.

For example, at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville in 2024, Trump emphasized that the future of cryptocurrency and Bitcoin “will be made in the USA, not driven overseas.”

Moreover, in various policy announcements, Trump identified global competitors as potential beneficiaries if the U.S. does not implement crypto-friendly regulations.

The strategy only briefly mentioned “digital finance” in non-crypto contexts, referring to international economic systems and payment infrastructures, without addressing decentralized networks.

National Security Strategy Influences BTC Price, Token Dips Below $88K Over Weekend

The effects of the White House’s latest document were evident in Bitcoin’s price, which fell below $88,000 over the weekend.

However, the largest cryptocurrency has increased by 1.96% in the last 24 hours to reach $91,429, according to CoinMarketCap data. A close above $91,600 could aim for $93K, while a failure could lead to a decline to $89.5K support. Bitcoin is currently trading at $91,143.
