Coinbase co-founder and CEO Brian Armstrong believes the US crypto strategic reserve recently announced by President Donald Trump should exclusively consist of Bitcoin (BTC).
On the social media platform X, Armstrong says having “just Bitcoin” in the US crypto strategic reserve “would probably be the best option.”
[adinserter block="1"]According to the Coinbase CEO, Bitcoin comes with the “simplest and [clearest] story as successor to gold” relative to other crypto assets.
“If folks wanted more variety, you could do a market-cap-weighted index of crypto assets to keep it unbiased.”
On Sunday, President Trump confirmed that the US will set up a “crypto strategic reserve” consisting of Bitcoin, Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA). Trump said that the reserve will help “elevate” the crypto industry while promising to ensure the US becomes the “crypto capital of the world.”
According to the White House artificial intelligence and crypto czar David Sacks, more information on the US Crypto Strategic Reserve will be provided during the upcoming White House Crypto Summit slated for March 7th.
Amid Armstrong’s position that Bitcoin should be the only digital asset in the US crypto strategic reserve, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse says he’s glad that Trump recognizes that “we live in a multichain world.”
While noting that “[Bitcoin] maximalism is the enemy of the [crypto] industry’s progress,” Garlinghouse says he will continue to champion multichain-friendly policies in Washington.
“I’ve said this before – the crypto industry will achieve our goals (and beyond) IF WE WORK TOGETHER. Appreciate the crypto President Donald Trump’s vision of a government digital asset reserve representative of the industry.”
