David Sacks and World Leaders Signal New Era of Bitcoin Adoption

• In the recent interview, David Sacks emphasized the need to amalgamate Bitcoin into national economic strategies
• Also, several prominent leaders around the world have recently championed Bitcoin and crypto adoption

The White House AI and crypto czar, David Sacks, has so far been seen promoting Bitcoin and wider crypto adoption as a part of the tech and economy strategy of the Trump administration

Sacks attended the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, in which he highlighted the efforts of the Trump administration to reverse previous regulatory hostilities toward crypto and delivered his promises in the first 100 days of his administration

He also emphasized the need to amalgamate Bitcoin into national economic strategies and advocated for surging domestic energy production to back AI, as well as Bitcoin industries. He also advocated for establishing a Strategic Digital Asset Reserve and advised that the government could purchase more BTC

Before accepting his role as White House AI and crypto czar, Sacks and his venture firm, Craft Ventures, divested their direct cryptocurrency holdings to avoid conflicts of interest. Despite that, they carried on to invest in crypto-associated startups, showing their ongoing commitment to the sector

World Leaders Promoting Crypto Adoption

Several prominent leaders around the world have recently championed Bitcoin and crypto adoption, each having unique approaches and motivations. Some of them include President Nayib Bukele.

Bukele made El Salvador the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021, ignoring the initial criticism. Now, the country has Bitcoin holdings that exceed 6,000 BTC. The president continues to promote BTC through different measures

Javier Milei, the President of Argentina, expressed his support for cryptocurrencies by promoting $LIBRA memecoin. The event led to a controversy, which also resulted in significant losses for investors and political backlash. Despite this, he still shows his favoritism for virtual assets

Many leaders see Bitcoin, as well as other crypto, as a symbol of anti-establishment or populist appeal. Prominent leaders such as Trump and Milei associate crypto rhetoric with themes of financial freedom and distrust in central banks

The efforts of Sacks indicate a turning point as the world’s most influential economy is now directly treating Bitcoin as a hedge, a tool of soft power, and a component of technological sovereignty

His stance on budget-neutral Bitcoin acquisition highlights a pragmatic path that connects innovation and fiscal responsibility
