David Sacks, the White House’s AI and crypto czar, strutted out the Trump administration’s turbocharged plan to flip U.S. crypto policy on its head, and fast. In just 100 days, they’re ditching years of regulatory grumpiness and delivering on campaign promises like clockwork.

Chatting with Gemini co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss at Bitcoin 2025 in Vegas, Sacks bragged about Trump’s pro-Bitcoin moves so far, including launching a Strategic Digital Asset Reserve, hinting the government might buy more BTC.
“If it can be done in a budget-neutral way, no new taxes, no extra debt, then Commerce or Treasury can fund it and snag more Bitcoin,” Sacks said.
Officially, the reserve’s funded by Bitcoin seized through forfeiture, but the door’s open for fresh purchases if the money’s found elsewhere.
Sacks also rattled off some early hits: pardoning Ross Ulbricht on Day 1, signing a week-one executive order to promote U.S. digital asset dominance, killing CBDCs, axing Operation Choke Point 2.0, and setting up the President’s Working Group on digital assets.
His favorite mic drop? Defunding Senator Elizabeth Warren’s personal regulatory fiefdom, the CFPB, crypto’s “goon squad.” Plus, the stablecoin bill and Genius Act are gearing up to pass, with a market structure bill likely before August to lock in crypto-friendly rules for good.
Fueling the Future Energy Is the Name of the Game
Calling Bitcoin the financial future, Sacks shifted gears to energy, the secret sauce powering both AI and crypto. “You need electricity to run GPUs for AI and ASICs for Bitcoin mining,” he said.
To keep America ahead, he called for a major energy production boost.
“We definitely need way more power to fuel AI and crypto. The President’s ‘drill, baby, drill’ vibe is exactly what’s needed to unleash oil and gas.”
Looking ahead, Sacks is pumped.
“We’re only like four months in with over three and a half years left. What we’ll accomplish is going to be incredible.”
And to the Bitcoin community? “What you guys will do with Bitcoin is going to be incredible, to the moon!”
