BITCOIN: THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WANTS TO HAVE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
During the Digital Asset Summit 2025, 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, thus affirming the United States' position on the legal nature of BTC.
But what caught attention was his statement that the United States wants to accumulate as much as possible, while specifying that this will be done in a "budget-neutral" manner, meaning without impacting taxpayers.
This statement 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 on 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.
The government's interest in bitcoin as a strategic asset marks a break from the more cautious approaches of previous administrations. If the U.S. government were to massively accumulate BTC, it would enhance the credibility of crypto in the eyes of financial institutions, influencing long-term monetary policy.
The idea of a nation-state accumulating bitcoin is not new, but seeing the United States adopt this strategy is a major development. Several questions remain unanswered:
- How does Washington plan to acquire bitcoin without using public funds?
- What impact could this have on the regulation and adoption of bitcoin in the United States?
- Could this approach inspire other nations?
With this announcement, the Trump administration sends a clear signal: bitcoin is part of the country's strategic assets.
