What to know : The Trump administration's new cyber strategy prioritizes the security of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology to maintain U.S. leadership in emerging tech. This places blockchain security in the context of national technology competition alongside AI and quantum computing. The strategy aligns with the administration's ongoing support for crypto, including past pledges to make the U.S. the "crypto capital" and to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
The Trump administration’s new national cyber strategy places the security of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies within the United States’ broader push to maintain leadership in emerging technology.
In a section focused on maintaining “superiority in critical and emerging technologies,” the document states that the government will support the security of “cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies.”
The statement appears in President Trump’s Cyber Strategy for America, which outlines six policy pillars meant to guide federal cyber policy, including securing infrastructure, modernizing federal networks and strengthening U.S. advantages in areas such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
"We will build secure technologies and supply chains that protect user privacy from design to deployment, including supporting the security of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies. We will promote the adoption of post-quantum cryptography and secure quantum computing," according to the document.
"And we will secure the AI technology stack—including our data centers—and promote innovation in AI security," the document added.
By placing blockchain security alongside AI and post-quantum cryptography, the strategy frames decentralized financial infrastructure as part of the nation’s technology competition with foreign rivals.
The strategy does not introduce specific crypto regulations. Still, the language signals that federal policymakers see securing blockchain systems as part of protecting economic and technological leadership.
Still, it further underscores the Trump administration's commitment to the cryptocurrency space (which came under scrutiny recently), a commitment he has supported since his 2024 campaign.
In July of that year, Trump addressed the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, promising to make the United States the “crypto capital of the planet” and a “Bitcoin superpower.” He pledged to end what he described as an anti-crypto regulatory push and proposed creating a national Bitcoin stockpile.
In early 2025, he directed the creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve using seized bitcoin and launched a presidential working group on digital assets, while prohibiting a U.S. central bank digital currency (although a year has passed, and there's still no reserve). Later that year, he promoted stablecoin legislation known as the GENIUS Act and continued to push for broader market-structure rules for the industry.
He has also eliminated various Biden-era anti-crypto policies and has seen U.S. lawmakers drop cases against major cryptocurrency firms, including Uniswap, Tron, Coinbase, and Binance.
