PANews reported on August 6 that according to The Block, Trump said in a latest interview that the US government should not sell cryptocurrencies. When asked about the recent sale of cryptocurrencies by the US government and whether he would still support cryptocurrencies if he won the November election, Trump said that the US government should not sell cryptocurrencies and they should work hard to build them. In addition, Trump called cryptocurrency a "very modern currency" and compared it to artificial intelligence. He had previously expressed his hope that the United States would become a major Bitcoin mining country. According to Arkham Intelligence monitoring, last week a wallet marked as belonging to the US government transferred $2 billion worth of Bitcoin to an unknown wallet address. The US government currently still holds about $11.1 billion worth of cryptocurrency.
