<p>Former President Trump’s speech at the Bitcoin 2024 conference was characterized by a strong pro-BTC stance. Trump declared that the US would retain its BTC reserves and would not engage in selling them.</p> 
<h5><strong>More About Trump &amp; Bitcoin</strong></h5> 
<p>His remarks were seen as a commitment to support the <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=crypto+market" target="_blank" rel="noopener">crypto market</a> and reassure investors. However, the subsequent transfer of such a substantial amount of BTC has contradicted this promise. Also, it raised questions about the government’s strategy and transparency regarding its digital assets.</p>
