Bitcoin (BTC-USD) hit a fresh record high as President Donald Trump returns to the White House. Cryptocurrencies, along with crypto-related stocks like MicroStrategy (MSTR), have gained on crypto investors' optimism under Trump. Coinbase (COIN) CEO Brian Armstrong is among the crypto leaders who have talked with the president. Armstrong joins Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi to discuss crypto under Trump 2.0, including the potential for a strategic bitcoin reserve, regulation changes, and more. The Coinbase CEO says he thinks Trump is "excited" about a strategic bitcoin reserve, adding, "He really wants to be the first bitcoin president." Senator Cynthia Lummis (WY-R) is leading the efforts in Congress to create a strategic bitcoin reserve. "Any government that holds gold should also hold bitcoin as a reserve," he says, noting, "If the US gets a strategic bitcoin reserve, probably the rest of the G20 will follow, or many of them, and that's just going to drive the bitcoin prices way up." Armstrong says there are "a lot of positive drivers" for bitcoin. "We have an opportunity to get regulatory clarity in this new administration; the bitcoin ETFs are seeing record adoption," and "we're seeing payments really start to take off with stablecoins."

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) is facing some pressure after President Donald Trump's inaugural speech did not mention the crypto space, disappointing investors hoping for crypto-friendly executive orders. However, Yahoo Finance senior reporter Alexandra Canal points out on Catalysts that despite the dip, bitcoin still remains above $100,000. The crypto asset climbed to a record $109,000 in the early morning hours ahead of Trump's inauguration ceremony. Meanwhile, memecoins tied to Trump and First Lady Melania Trump (TRUMP-OFFICIAL-USD, MELANIA-USD) sparked debate, fueling optimism within the crypto trading community while also raising concerns about crypto's credibility. Skybridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci — who also briefly served as the White House Director of Communications in the first Trump administration — called the Trump family memecoins "gambling token[s]" and a "clearing station for bribery" when speaking to Yahoo Finance at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland. Also discussed is the US dollar (DX=F, DX-Y.NYB) being under pressure as potential tariffs loom, while shares of Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT, DJTWW) remain volatile following Trump's reentry into the White House.
