Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele met with Bo Hines, a representative of the White House and executive director of the Trump Digital Asset Advisory Committee, at the Presidential Palace. According to information released by the Bitcoin Office of El Salvador, the two sides had in-depth exchanges on the future development of Bitcoin and digital assets, and expressed their willingness to promote bilateral strategic cooperation.

This high-level meeting is seen as another key move for El Salvador to further consolidate its strategic position as a "Bitcoin country". As the first country in the world to make Bitcoin a legal currency, El Salvador has been making continuous progress in the fields of crypto asset legislation, Bitcoin Treasury bond issuance, and Bitcoin wallet popularization in recent years. This direct exchange with the core team of digital assets in the new US government will undoubtedly inject new momentum into its digital economic vision.

Bo Hines said after the meeting: "We are committed to shaping the future of global finance with like-minded countries. El Salvador's technological foresight and institutional innovation are admirable, and President Bukele's leadership in promoting financial inclusion and sovereign currency exploration deserves high recognition."

In recent years, after Trump returned to the White House, the United States has made a significant change in its digital asset policy stance. The White House has established a special crypto and artificial intelligence strategic committee and recruited industry professionals to join the cabinet, sending a strong signal of welcoming innovation and corporate investment. As an important executive of this committee, Bo Hines' visit was also interpreted as a substantive measure to strengthen foreign crypto diplomacy.

Sources revealed that in addition to Bitcoin strategic cooperation, the talks also covered topics such as Bitcoin mining investment, cross-border payment and clearing mechanisms, and central bank digital assets (CBDC) alternatives.

As Bitcoin prices continue to break through historical highs, more and more countries are beginning to re-examine its position in national financial strategies. As a pioneer, El Salvador is building a global digital asset cooperation network through continuous diplomatic actions.

This meeting is not only an international endorsement of President Bukele's adherence to the Bitcoin policy, but also indicates that the United States and Saudi Arabia may open up a deeper path of cooperation in crypto assets, becoming an important part of the evolution of the global digital financial order.
