Con artists always begin by telling you something you know to be true, before pulling a bait and switch on you.

Trump attended the bitcoin conference to tell the world bitcoin is great and how much he loves bitcoin.
But after winning the election he starts his own shitcoin pump and dump and begins promoting a bunch of other crap.

Trump promised that he would use the bitcoin currently held by the US Govt. to start a bitcoin reserve or stockpile, but after he took office the bitcoin went missing.

Any reference to quote this where and when it was said exactly as you have presented it?

U.S. Marshals Service Can't Say How Much Crypto It Holds, Complicating Bitcoin Reserve Plan - CoinDesk Feb. 21, 2025

...The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) is tasked with managing assets seized by law enforcement in the course of criminal investigations, like real estate, cash, jewelry, antiques or vehicles.
It is also supposed to be handling cryptocurrencies — for example, the billions of dollars worth of bitcoin (BTC) seized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from darknet marketplace Silk Road in 2013.

However, the USMS doesn’t seem to know how much crypto it currently has. In fact, the agency is struggling to come up with a rough estimate of even its bitcoin holdings, a source familiar with the matter told CoinDesk.

USMS history of crypto management
...The agency’s troubles with crypto aren’t new. Timothy Clarke, CEO of crypto consulting firm ECC Solutions, told CoinDesk that a lot of frustration had built up against the USMS from both the public and private sectors over the years.

As recently as 2019, the agency “only handled a handful of cryptocurrency assets, like eight or 10, so all the different U.S. government agencies had to do their own storage, instead of the USMS doing its job and intaking seizures,” said Clarke, a former special agent at the Department of Treasury.

Not only would the USMS take weeks to provide bitcoin deposit addresses to agencies when they’d just made a seizure, he said, but the agency would simply share them over email without any sort of encryption or verification process...

That is called a bait and switch. The President of Argentina pulled off the same shit.

That is how they hide behind the mask of bitcoin. They tell you what you want to hear to get elected (bitcoin is great!).
But once in office they do something completely different (start their own shitcoin pump and dump).

That is basically how every altcoin starts off. The promoters always tell you how great and wonderful bitcoin is (which is true) before trying to convince you to invest in their shitcoin.
And the suckers fall for it every single time. You can't trust any of these shitcoin charlatans. The only thing you can trust in is bitcoin.

I would not be surprised if it has been embezzled by him and his cronies, which it probably was. Doesn't matter which party is in power, they are all totally corrupt.
