The Trump Administration Wants to Accumulate Bitcoin "As Much As Possible"
The Trump administration seems to want to make bitcoin a strategic asset for the United States. At the Digital Asset Summit 2025, Bo Hines confirmed that the government will seek to accumulate as much BTC as possible, without impacting taxpayers. An announcement that marks a turning point in American crypto policy.
The American government ready to stockpile bitcoin… en masse!
At the Digital Asset Summit 2025, which was held on March 18, Bo Hines, executive director of the Presidential Working Group on Digital Assets, confirmed that bitcoin is a “commodity” type asset and not a financial security, thereby affirming the United States’ position on the legal nature of BTC.
But what truly caught attention was his assertion that the United States wants to accumulate as much bitcoin as possible, while specifying that this will be done in a “budget-neutral” manner, meaning without impacting taxpayers.
A strong signal for crypto in the United States
This statement about bitcoin comes at a key moment for the digital asset industry. As the Trump administration seeks to strengthen the United States’ position in the crypto economy, legislation regarding stablecoins could be presented to Congress in the next two months. This regulatory framework, if adopted, could provide more clarity to companies in the sector and encourage innovation on American soil.
The government’s interest in bitcoin as a strategic asset marks a clear break from the more cautious approaches of previous administrations. If the U.S. government were to massively accumulate BTC, it could not only strengthen the credibility of crypto in the eyes of financial institutions but also influence long-term monetary policy.
An adoption of bitcoin by the States?
The idea of a nation-state accumulating bitcoin is not new, but seeing the United States proactively adopt this strategy is a significant evolution. Several questions remain unanswered:
- How does Washington plan to acquire bitcoin without directly using public funds?
- What impact could this have on the regulation and adoption of bitcoin in the United States?
- Could this approach inspire other nations?
With this announcement, the Trump administration sends a clear signal: bitcoin is now part of the country’s strategic assets. It remains to be seen how this ambition will translate into action. They will certainly call upon the BTC strategy of 100 trillion dollars proposed by Michael Saylor!
