White House Hosts Crypto Summit: Saylor and Industry Titans Gather

The White House is set to host a cryptocurrency summit this Friday, with a reported larger-scale event in the works. Michael Saylor, the CEO of MicroStrategy, has been confirmed to participate in the event, which is expected to be attended by around 20-25 people in a roundtable format at the White House.

The summit will include other members of the President's Working Group on Financial Markets (PWG), with fewer industry representatives invited. While the guest list is still being finalized, it is expected to include industry heavyweights such as Michael Saylor, Bo Hines, and David Sacks. The PWG also includes Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Attorney General Pam Bondi, SEC Chairman, CFTC Chairman, and other officials.

In addition to the roundtable meeting, a larger, invitation-only reception is being prepared across the street from the White House for those not invited to the roundtable. The arrangements are still evolving, and changes may still occur. However, this is the latest information available on the event.
