White House Corporate Ranking System Sparks Industry Debate

White House officials reportedly developed a scorecard ranking 553 U.S. companies based on their support for Trump’s ‘Big and Beautiful’ bill, according to The Daily Telegraph.

The scorecard’s implications for corporate influence on policy remain uncertain, while crypto markets showed significant volatility unrelated to the bill, reflecting broader market dynamics.

White House Scorecard Names Top Corporate Supporters

According to The Daily Telegraph, the White House scorecard ranks companies as high, medium, or low partners supporting the “Big and Beautiful” bill. Uber, DoorDash, United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Airlines for America, AT&T, and Cisco are named as top supporters. However, official confirmations of these categorizations remain absent as no public acknowledgments can be verified on social media or other official channels from these corporations or the White House.

The introduction of the ranking system reportedly impacts market dynamics by influencing corporate actions aligned with legislative goals. It raises questions around the transparency and influence of corporate partnerships in governmental initiatives. The scorecard evaluates companies through their activities like social media engagement and participation in White House events.

In the immediate aftermath, the crypto market experienced notable volatility on August 16, triggering community reactions about the implications for the balance of corporate power and government policy. However, no major crypto figures have publicly commented on the scorecard, and official statements from U.S. government entities haven’t been released.

Crypto Market Volatility Mirrors Regulatory Uncertainty
