Sensational news: the Trump administration stated that it is considering using revenue from import tariffs to create a strategic reserve of bitcoin!
This was reported by Bo Hines — director of the advisory council on digital assets. In an interview with Anthony Pompliano, he emphasized:
> "We are looking for creative, budget-neutral solutions. This will not cost American taxpayers a cent.”
Among the sources of funding being considered:
revenue from import tariffs,
revaluation of US Treasury gold certificates (which are still valued at $42.22 per ounce — tens of times lower than the market value).
All these steps are part of a larger strategy: to make the US a leader in the cryptocurrency space. This also resonates with the Bitcoin Reserve Act 2025 proposed by Senator Cynthia Lummis, according to which the government may invest gold and other reserves in BTC.
Why is this important?
1. Institutional signal: if the largest economy in the world starts buying BTC — it may trigger a wave of trust among investors.
2. Price growth: government purchases may reduce supply in the market, increasing scarcity and stimulating growth.
3. Hedge against inflation: bitcoin is increasingly viewed as an alternative to the dollar and gold — especially in conditions of geopolitical instability.
4. The race for BTC reserves: the US may push other countries to take similar steps. Recall that El Salvador already holds BTC on its balance sheet.
Current BTC price: $85,926
+1.92% in 24 hours | +28.7% in 20 days
If this becomes a reality — will bitcoin be recognized as a global reserve asset?
