White House Delays Release of First Federal Bitcoin Policy Report

The White House has delayed the release of its first comprehensive cryptocurrency policy report past its Tuesday deadline, with officials now saying the document will be made public before the end of July.

The report, originally due July 22 under a 180-day mandate from President Donald Trump’s executive order, will outline the administration’s regulatory framework for digital assets and recommendations for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, according to Crypto in America host Eleanor Terrett.

The Digital Asset Markets Working Group, chaired by David Sacks and comprising leaders from 11 federal agencies, developed the policy document following Executive Order 14178, which aims to create consumer protections and technology-neutral regulations.

The report is expected to address key areas including regulatory clarity, fair banking access, and the potential creation of a strategic Bitcoin reserve using government-seized cryptocurrencies. It is also expected to recommend specific legislative actions to regulate stablecoins, define digital assets, and prevent unlawful market practices.

Congress recently completed “Crypto Week,” during which several digital asset bills advanced through the House of Representatives. On Friday, Trump signed the GENIUS Act into law, establishing the first federal regulatory framework for stablecoins with bipartisan support.

The working group was established by Trump’s January executive order, with a separate March order creating the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve framework.
