PANews reported on May 12 that according to Coingape, Irish presidential candidate and UFC champion Conor McGregor confirmed that he will meet with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele to discuss the establishment of a national Bitcoin strategic reserve plan. The meeting will take place during the "Bitcoin Sovereign State Summit", and McGregor advocates "returning monetary power to the people" through Bitcoin reserves.

In addition to Bitcoin, McGregor said he is exploring the transparent application of other cryptocurrencies in government processes, and Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has taken the initiative to discuss possible cooperation. Analysts speculate that its final plan may include a combination of Bitcoin reserves and selected digital assets. Previously, its Meme coin REAL project failed to raise funds, but with the recent recovery of the crypto market, policy discussions have picked up again.
