Could US Strategic Reserve Benefit from Bitcoin Funding With Tariff Surpluses?

According to Adam Livingston, author of ‘The Bitcoin Age and The Great Harvest’, the U.S. government can increase its Bitcoin holdings through a strategy that utilizes tariff surpluses. Livingston proposes allocating a portion of monthly tariff revenue surplus into secure, cold storage Bitcoin not traded, staked, sold, rehypothecated, used for programs, or lent out for yield. He cited July’s $135.7 billion in customs duties collected as evidence of this surplus, noting it exceeds last year’s pace by double. Livingston argues that this untapped surplus represents a potential opportunity to invest and utilize this funds productively.
