Trump: We Want All Remaining Bitcoin to Be Made in USA
Summary
Donald Trump, Republican presidential candidate, expressed his desire for all remaining bitcoin to be produced in the U.S., stating it would aid in the country's energy dominance. He voiced his opinion on the social media platform, Truth Social, suggesting that bitcoin mining could be a defense against a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). Trump met with executives from bitcoin mining firms CleanSpark Inc. and Riot Platforms, emphasizing that miners help stabilize the energy supply from the grid. Bitcoin's total supply is capped at 21 million, with 90% already mined and the rest expected to be mined by 2140.
