Blockworks:

What: President Donald Trump is expected to address the audience at the Digital Asset Summit in New York City on Thursday, March 20. His morning speech will be the first time a sitting president has ever addressed a crypto industry conference.

The announcement comes after Executive Director of the White House’s Presidents Council of Advisers on Digital Assets, Bo Hines, spoke at DAS earlier this week, alluding to the administration’s desire to stockpile bitcoin for its recently-announced strategic bitcoin reserve.

“It’s high time that our president started accumulating assets for the American people, which is what President Trump is doing rather than taking it away,” Hines told the crowd on Tuesday. “I’ve been asked all the time, it’s like how much do you want, right? I mean, as much as we can get.”

When: 10:40 am ET

Where: North Javits, New York City
