Confirmed Attendees: A Who’s Who of Crypto

With invitations sent on March 4, more confirmations are expected in the coming days.
Will the U.S. Adopt a Bitcoin Reserve?
One of the most intriguing developments leading up to the summit is Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s hint at a potential U.S. Bitcoin strategic reserve. According to The Pavlovic Today, Lutnick suggested that the administration is considering Bitcoin as part of the nation's economic strategy, though the stance on other cryptocurrencies remains uncertain.

If Trump moves forward with such a plan, it could signal a historic shift in U.S. monetary policy, possibly positioning Bitcoin as a government-backed asset. The announcement could have major implications for institutional adoption, regulatory clarity, and global market reactions.
While the White House roundtable is the main event, an invite-only reception is being planned nearby for those who didn’t make the official guest list. This alternative gathering may offer networking opportunities and insider discussions on the future of crypto in U.S. policy.
What to Expect from the Summit
Given Trump’s previous policy moves—including halting SEC enforcement actions against crypto firms and proposing a strategic crypto reserve—this summit is expected to shape the next phase of U.S. digital asset regulations. Topics likely on the table include:
- The feasibility of a Bitcoin reserve
- The future of crypto regulation in the U.S.
- Potential bans or restrictions on Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs)
- Stablecoin policies and legislative proposals
With high-profile industry figures in attendance and a major policy shift potentially on the horizon, all eyes will be on the White House this Friday.
