In a bold push toward government-backed Bitcoin accumulation, Bo Hines, Executive Director on Digital Assets for President Trump, has revealed that the administration aims to significantly increase U.S. Bitcoin reserves.
Trump’s Vision: Expanding U.S. Bitcoin Reserves for Future Financial Security
Speaking at the Digital Assets Summit in New York on March 18, Hines emphasized that the U.S. government should actively acquire Bitcoin, much like traditional reserves of gold.
“I believe it’s high time that our President starts acquiring assets for the American people, which is exactly what President Trump is doing – accumulating wealth rather than depleting it,” Hines declared.

When asked about the scale of Bitcoin accumulation, Hines compared it to gold, stating, “When people ask me, ‘How much Bitcoin do you want to acquire?’ I tell them – it’s like asking a nation, ‘How much gold do you want to have?’ The answer is as much as possible.”
Hines also revealed that Trump’s first-ever White House Digital Assets Summit focused on strategies for acquiring Bitcoin in a budget-neutral manner.
The comments signal a major shift in how the U.S. government approaches cryptocurrency. Traditionally, Bitcoin has been viewed with skepticism by regulators, but under Trump’s administration, it could become a key strategic asset.
As more nations explore digital currency reserves, a U.S. push into Bitcoin could accelerate global adoption and reshape financial policies. If implemented, this approach would position the United States as a leader in the evolving digital economy.
With this aggressive stance, the Trump administration is signaling that Bitcoin is no longer just a speculative asset—it’s becoming a foundational piece of U.S. financial strategy.
