Bo Hines, who heads digital asset policy under Donald Trump’s advisory circle, has held private discussions with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, signaling potential crypto coordination between the two leaders.
The meeting focused on exploring joint opportunities in Bitcoin and digital asset infrastructure. While no formal agreements were announced, El Salvador’s Bitcoin Office confirmed that both parties are seeking paths for collaboration—potentially laying groundwork for future strategic alignment.
Hines’ visit comes at a time when Trump’s team is reportedly working on a plan to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, aimed at accumulating BTC through confiscations and cost-neutral strategies.
Though the U.S. has yet to directly purchase Bitcoin, El Salvador’s bold move—making BTC legal tender and building national reserves exceeding 6,000 coins—may offer a model worth emulating.
El Salvador, meanwhile, continues investing in nationwide crypto and tech education. The goal, according to officials, is to equip younger generations not just with coding skills but with a forward-thinking mindset rooted in ethics and innovation.
As Trump’s camp leans further into pro-crypto policies and regulatory clarity, the recent engagement with Bukele could be an early sign of stronger international crypto diplomacy.
