Cathie Wood is raising eyebrows again — this time by suggesting that President Trump may be pushed into buying bitcoin for the U.S. strategic reserve as the midterms approach.
According to Wood, crypto has become too politically important for the administration to ignore. She points out that the industry played a real role in Trump’s election, top executives are now deeply involved with policy conversations, and the White House has already taken several pro-crypto steps.
What’s especially interesting is her argument that Trump doesn’t want to drift into “lame duck” territory. In her view, backing crypto — and potentially initiating federal bitcoin purchases — is one way he keeps momentum heading into 2026.
Whether you agree or not, it’s clear the intersection of crypto and U.S. politics is only getting tighter. And if the government really does start buying BTC, it would mark one of the biggest shifts in America’s financial strategy in decades.
