He also added that the U.S is also the \u201cundisputed leader in artificial intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump also took the opportunity to bring up growing global competition, as more and more governments have jumped on the crypto bandwagon. He explicitly mentioned China as one of the U.S\u2019 key contenders for the title of \u201ccrypto capital of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd don\u2019t forget, if we don\u2019t do the crypto properly, China \u2026 China wants to do it. They\u2019re starting it, but they want to do it. Other countries want to do it. If we don\u2019t do it properly, it\u2019s a big industry,\u201d warned Trump.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s stance on crypto has shifted from hard opposition to somewhat lukewarm after stablecoin adoption rapidly increased worldwide, with U.S dollar-backed tokens leading the charge. In fact, experts have been pushing for China to collaborate with Hong Kong to issue yuan-backed stablecoins to topple the U.S dollar\u2019s dominance over the sector.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, JPMorgan analysts predicted that the rise of stablecoin adoption worldwide could generate around $1.4 trillion in demand for the U.S dollar by 2027.<\/p>\n<p>During his speech, Trump commended his administration for reversing the damage done to the crypto industry by the Biden administration. Financial regulators and officials under the previous Presidential term were notorious for being anti-crypto and worked to criminalize major players in the crypto industry, most notably Binance, Coinbase and Ripple.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve also signed historic executive orders to end the federal government\u2019s war on crypto. Crypto was under siege. It\u2019s not under siege anymore,\u201d said Trump, referring to his executive orders that called for the creation of a Strategic Bitcoin (BTC) Reserve and a U.S Digital Asset Stockpile.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much Bitcoin does the U.S hold?<\/h2>\n<p>At press time, the U.S remains the largest government entity holding BTC. According to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcointreasuries.net\/governments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">data<\/a> from Bitcoin Treasuries, the U.S government currently holds around 326,588 BTC or equal to $33.69 billion. This trove mostly comes from seized BTC from criminal violations and forfeitures, representing about 1.55% of the total BTC supply. So far, the U.S has not made any moves to purchase BTC.<\/p>\n<p>China is currently in second-place with its BTC holdings amounting to 190,000 BTC. Like the U.S, China\u2019s BTC holdings were accumulated from seized BTC collected over the years by authorities.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The U.S is home to the largest number of companies that hold Bitcoin | Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcointreasuries.net\/countries\/united-states\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Bitcoin Treasuries<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The U.S is also the country with the highest number of BTC-holding entities on the map.
