Bo Hines said at the 2025 Bitcoin Conference held in Las Vegas on May 27, the federal government will already detain all Bitcoin (BTC) and pursue additional budget-centric ways to increase strategic Bitcoin reserves.
Hines, executive director of the Presidential Advisory Council of Digital Assets; Bitcoin was described as “digital gold.” He then said that the scarcity of assets requires permanent custody.
He distinguished the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) from the National Stockpile by highlighting the absolute ban on disposal. Above March 6th, Presidential Order Both concepts have been established, signed by President Donald Trump.
Hines has been added:
“We don't intend to sell Bitcoin that is in the US government period.”
He further emphasized that the US recognizes Bitcoin as a product of “essentially preserved value.” This status justifies an independent single asset reserve.
Accumulation of open-ended responses through budget neutrality
Hines rejected the idea of a numerical target for federal holdings, revealing that there is no CAP. He said:
“We want to get as much as we can.”
He instructs staff to find “budget-neutral methods” for the reserve framework to grow stacks, and the working group continues to study options that meet that state.
The conference speakers suggested ways to add Bitcoin to the sanctuary without using taxpayer funds.
Matthew Sigel, Vaneck's head of digital assets research, Royalties linked to US Bitcoin mining. Miners pay a portion of their block rewards in BTC to government wallets to streamline the accumulation process.
Furthermore, crypto mining plants that use wasteful methane are tax-exempt.
Alex Thorn, Head of Research at Galaxy Digital; Think of the “fastest route” It's about selling altcoins from digital assets stockpiling and using revenue to get more BTC.
He added:
“In fact, it's elegant because you don't even have to touch cash. You can sell an Altcoin/BTC pair.
