Binance CEO reveals government consultations on Bitcoin strategy

As the United States tightens its digital asset policies, several governments are now reaching out to Binance for advice on shaping their own Bitcoin strategies. CEO Richard Teng shared that the company is helping guide governments and sovereign wealth funds in building digital asset reserves—a trend that could have major economic impacts.

Teng explained in a recent interview that multiple governments have asked for Binance’s input on how to set up strategic Bitcoin reserves and develop crypto regulations. Although he did not name the countries involved, he emphasized that the U.S. is far ahead in creating a framework for Bitcoin as a national asset.

The idea of using Bitcoin as a strategic resource is growing. Earlier this year, former U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, funded by seized bitcoins from criminal and civil actions. This bold move appears to have sparked interest in similar initiatives around the world.

In addition to these policy discussions, Binance is reconsidering its past approach of not having a formal headquarters. Teng noted that the company is now exploring options for a global headquarters as regulatory clarity improves in many regions. This represents a significant shift from the earlier view that physical offices were unnecessary.

Binance’s increasing role in advising on national crypto policies and reserves signals a broader change in how governments treat digital assets—not just as financial tools, but as key parts of economic infrastructure. With more countries following the U.S. lead in this area, Binance’s advisory role is expected to grow even further in the coming years.
