Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy, retweeted an inaccurate message on social media regarding Trump's cryptocurrency policy, claiming that Trump supports the elimination of cryptocurrency taxation and that “Bitcoin is money.” Upon investigation, the false message initially originated from a post by social account Basedkarbon on October 28 and was retweeted by several prominent cryptocurrency social accounts. Trump did mention the idea of eliminating the federal income tax in a recent interview, but did not address the topic of digital assets.
