According to ChainCatcher, Matthew Sigel, the head of digital assets at VanEck, stated at the Bitcoin 2025 conference that if the U.S. needs to continue increasing its strategic reserves of Bitcoin, it must do so through the congressional legislative process rather than executive orders. He suggested that Bitcoin mining incentives be included in budget reconciliation bills, such as providing tax credits for mining companies that use methane gas and requiring miners to remit a portion of their mining income to the government.
Currently, the U.S. government holds nearly 200,000 Bitcoins. On March 7, when President Trump established this reserve via executive order, it was stipulated that any new reserves could only be achieved through budget-neutral strategies or asset forfeiture. Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis proposed in July 2024 to convert part of the Treasury's gold certificates into Bitcoin, and President's digital asset advisor Bo Hines also proposed a similar plan in March of this year.
