Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Microstrategy, would be open to taking a crypto advisory role in the Trump administration. However, he declined to disclose if he had already met with President Trump to discuss this subject.
Michael Saylor Open to Serve Under Trump
Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman and co-founder of Microstrategy, the public company that holds the most bitcoin, remains open to taking a crypto advisory role in the upcoming Trump administration.
In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Saylor was inquired about his political views and possible involvement with the upcoming administration. When asked if he had met with President Trump, Saylor smirked, denying to disclose if these contacts were taking place.
Saylor stated:
I’ve met a lot of people in the incoming administration but I couldn’t comment further than that.
Nonetheless, when asked about the possibility of taking a crypto advisory role in an upcoming crypto advisory council, he noted that he would be open to the idea. “I’m always willing to provide thoughts on constructive digital assets policy in confidence or publicly and if I’m asked to serve on some sort of Digital Assets Advisory Council I probably would do so,” Saylor declared.
Saylor remarks come as rumors swirl around his possible involvement with the upcoming administration. Saylor recently met with Eric Trump at Mar-A-Lago, posting on social media that bitcoin was “on the menu” at that encounter.
Apart from these rumors, there has been no concrete evidence linking Saylor to a possible crypto role in Trump’s administration. However, if this happens, it would not be strange: Trump has promoted a pro-crypto stance since its campaign days, even appointing a crypto-focused czar -David Sacks, – and Paul Atkins, a crypto-friendly pick for running the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The addition of Saylor to Trump’s crypto effort would solidify his bitcoin allegiance, as Saylor would promote Bitcoin-first policies and continue to spearhead one of the most ambitious crypto projects ever for a nation-state: building a strategic bitcoin reserve for the U.S. using its gold reserves.
