In a notable recent statement, Bo Hines — senior advisor to President Donald Trump and executive director of the Digital Asset Advisory Council — clearly asserted that the U.S. administration views Bitcoin accumulation as a national priority. Hines compares this process to a 'space race' among nations, where whoever owns more Bitcoin will have a distinct strategic advantage in the future.


Bold statement: 'The more Bitcoin you accumulate, the better.'


In an interview with t-147, Bo Hines emphasized that the current administration wants to buy as much Bitcoin as possible. He described the accumulation of Bitcoin as no different from the gold accumulation race of the last century. 'Asking the U.S. how much Bitcoin it wants is like asking a country how much gold it wants — the answer is always: as much as possible,' Hines asserted.


Currently, governments around the world hold about 2.3% of the total Bitcoin supply. The U.S. is leading, slightly ahead of China. This shows that the race has been on for a long time, and now the Trump administration is ready to accelerate.


Bitcoin is the core asset, other coins are just secondary.


Bo Hines also clarified the White House's stance: Bitcoin is at the center of the cryptocurrency strategy, while other digital assets play a secondary role. While acknowledging that 'other ecosystems exist,' he emphasized that the most important thing is to 'recognize Bitcoin's unique role.'


Hines stated that Bitcoin is viewed as a commodity, not a security, and that makes it special. He quoted 'crypto czar' David Sacks, who accompanied him on the Council, when he referred to Bitcoin as having 'Immaculate Conception' (formed purely, not manipulated by any organization or issuer). Accordingly, the intrinsic value of Bitcoin is seen as the key point for the government to make long-term bets.


In the context of previous speculation that the administration might accumulate tokens like Solana (c-135) or Cardano (c-137) — based on a post on Truth Social by Trump — Hines's statement indirectly dismissed that possibility.


Action plan: Accumulate early and creatively.


Hines stated that he is 'very confident' that the U.S. Treasury and trade leaders will come up with 'extremely creative' ways to accumulate Bitcoin. One of the options he mentioned was using trade tariffs — a familiar strategy under Trump — to acquire Bitcoin reserves.


Although no specific timeline has been given, Hines revealed that the initial process could occur 'very quickly' and that the main responsibility for approving accumulation measures lies with the Treasury, according to the executive order signed by President t-90.


Not just accumulation: Stablecoin legislation and market structure are also prioritized.


Besides Bitcoin, the Trump administration is also rushing to finalize the legal framework for the cryptocurrency industry in general. Hines revealed that his team is working to complete two important bills — one on stablecoins and one on the structure of the crypto market — to present to the President before the August break.


This indicates that the Trump administration's crypto strategy is not just about accumulation, but also about refining the legal framework to make the U.S. a global digital financial hub.



Contact with crypto users and the Binance community


Bo Hines's statement could mark a significant turning point in how nations approach Bitcoin. If the U.S. truly enters the 'Bitcoin accumulation race' at high speed, this could lead to a wave of FOMO from other countries, resulting in a strong increase in demand.


For users on Binance, this could directly impact Bitcoin prices and the entire crypto market. If the BTC supply becomes scarcer due to long-term accumulation by the U.S. government, prices could rise sharply in the medium and long term. Additionally, Bitcoin-related products on Binance (such as spot, futures, ETFs, and staking) may also become more attractive.



Risk warning


The cryptocurrency market is always fraught with significant volatility and is not suitable for all investors. Government involvement in accumulation could change market trends, but does not exclude the possibility of strong corrections due to policy interventions or geopolitical fluctuations. Users need to be cautious and carefully assess risks before making investment decisions.
