According to “people familiar with the matter” who spilled the beans to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong reportedly met with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Monday. WSJ reporter Brian Schwartz claims the meeting would be the first since Election Day on Nov. 5 and the two will discuss “personnel appointments for his second administration.” This tidbit follows Armstrong’s recent activity on X (formerly known as Twitter), where he’s been sharing his opinions on taxes. The rumored meeting also coincides with growing anticipation that the U.S. might establish a strategic bitcoin reserve once Trump takes office and launches his agenda. During the last election cycle, Coinbase poured millions into supporting pro-crypto candidates, reflecting the increasing role of digital currency in shaping U.S. politics.
