White House Advisor: U.S. Should Stockpile Bitcoin, No Limit in Sight
Bo Hines, who oversees digital asset strategy within the Trump administration, has revealed that plans are underway to build a national Bitcoin reserve, potentially using tariff revenue as one of several funding options.
During a recent talk, Hines explained that the administration is evaluating unconventional methods to increase its Bitcoin holdings. He highlighted tariffs as one possibility but emphasized that there are numerous potential strategies being considered. The goal, according to Hines, is to accumulate as much Bitcoin as possible—stressing its importance as a store of value.
He also discussed Senator Cynthia Lummis’ proposed Bitcoin Reserve Act of 2025, which includes a provision to reprice U.S. gold certificates. These certificates are currently valued at a fraction of gold’s market price. If revalued, the resulting surplus could theoretically be redirected into Bitcoin acquisitions.

Although specifics are still being ironed out, Hines made it clear the administration sees Bitcoin as a key strategic asset. When asked how much Bitcoin the U.S. should aim to hold, he was unapologetically ambitious, saying there should be no upper limit.
He went on to describe Donald Trump as firmly supportive of Bitcoin and crypto more broadly, noting that regulatory efforts are already underway. A new interagency working group has been created to streamline policy and provide clearer guidelines for the digital asset sector.
