According to a recent poll released by the United States on the 14th, American voters have extremely low support for the federal government increasing funding for cryptocurrency and blockchain development, with only about 10% of respondents supporting the Trump administration investing more funds in this field. Among them, as many as 45% of American voters believe that cryptocurrency-related spending should be reduced, and 29% believe that the status quo should be maintained. In contrast, voters are more hoping that the government will prioritize investing resources in more universally beneficial traditional livelihood areas such as social insurance (65%), medical insurance (64%), and transportation infrastructure (63%). In the technology field, space exploration (24%) and artificial intelligence AI (20%) have higher support than cryptocurrency. This result reflects that in the government spending priorities listed in the poll, cryptocurrency is at the bottom, and also highlights that digital assets still face considerable challenges in mainstream recognition and adoption in the United States, and voters take a conservative attitude towards the federal government investing funds in cryptocurrency. This poll is from the left-leaning polling agency Data for Progress, which surveyed 1,169 American voters from March 8 to 10. 51% of American voters oppose the establishment of a Bitcoin national strategic reserve It is worth noting that the poll also directly asked voters about their views on establishing a cryptocurrency strategic reserve, and the results show that 51% of respondents oppose this proposal, 34% support it, and 15% are uncertain. Among them, the opposition rate of Democrats (59%) and independent voters (56%) is particularly high, while Republican voters are divided, showing a polarized attitude. This indicates that this policy not only lacks a broad public opinion foundation, but even within the ruling party, a consensus has not been reached. The release of this poll coincides with the fact that on March 6, US President Trump just signed an executive order laying the foundation for the establishment of a Bitcoin and cryptocurrency strategic reserve in the United States. However, the White House emphasized that the current strategic reserve is supported by Bitcoin funds obtained through criminal or civil forfeiture procedures, that is, the confiscated Bitcoin will no longer be sold, but the Treasury Department and the Department of Commerce will explore new ways to increase the Bitcoin reserve, but the premise will be budget-neutral, without additional costs to taxpayers. However, he did not disclose the specific implementation details. This clarification helps alleviate public concerns that the Trump administration may use taxpayer funds to purchase Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency assets, but since it fails to meet market expectations for further policy details, the signing of the executive order temporarily caused Bitcoin prices to plummet by $85,000. It is speculated that US President Trump recently announced the establishment of a US sovereign wealth fund, which may be used to establish a Bitcoin strategic reserve, and the fund is expected to be funded by tariffs.
