The U.S. government is exploring innovative ways to build a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve without using taxpayer funds. Bo Hines, Executive Director of Digital Assets at the Trump administration’s crypto council, revealed this initiative during an interview with Anthony Pompliano. According to Hines, revenue from tariffs and potential gold revaluation could provide funding for Bitcoin purchases. These funds would initially be used to acquire assets seized in government criminal proceedings, but a strategy to expand the reserve through creative methods is being developed. Hines mentioned that the U.S. is exploring various approaches, including utilizing untapped revenue sources and revaluing gold certificates. This effort will bolster the U.S.’s overall digital asset holdings as part of a long-term strategy.
