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.

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, would 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 will the government be able to acquire bitcoin in a way that does not affect taxpayers? Through an initiative similar to Plan B, which proposes taxing realized capital gains on crypto at 1%, or another method?

• What impact will this large-scale purchase have on the price of BTC?

The Trump administration’s interest in bitcoin has been evident before, with former president Donald Trump himself expressing mixed opinions on the cryptocurrency.

However, this new initiative represents a decisive step towards integrating bitcoin into the fabric of American economic policy. It will be interesting to observe how this ambition unfolds and what implications it holds for the future of cryptocurrency on a global scale.
