White House advisor: Strategic BTC reserve is a key goal for crypto committee

Officials from the White House Crypto Advisory Committee outlined four key policy goals at KBW 2025, including the pursuit of a strategic Bitcoin reserve for the U.S. Speaking at the event, Executive Director Patrick Witt and Deputy Director Harry Jung listed the committee's objectives as accelerating the passage of digital asset legislation, establishing a strategic BTC reserve, clarifying cryptocurrency tax regulations, and protecting the rights of crypto technology developers. The officials explained that the committee is currently coordinating with multiple government bodies, including the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the Department of Commerce, and the Department of the Treasury, to advance its crypto policy agenda. In response to a question about the potential for policy changes after an election, they emphasized that current efforts to establish a legislative and regulatory framework would make it difficult for a future administration to reverse the established direction.
