Forget nuclear stockpiles—Trump’s White House wants Bitcoin in the vault. Bo Hines, President Trump’s crypto whisperer and head of the US Digital Assets Advisory Council, just announced the U.S. is going full throttle on a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Because if there’s a global race to hoard BTC, Hines says, America’s not coming in second.

“There is a sort of space race as it pertains to the accumulation of this asset,” Hines told the world, sipping digital gold like it’s rocket fuel.

This new declaration comes barely two weeks after Hines hinted at how the U.S. could fund its Bitcoin buying spree without blowing up the budget. Spoiler alert: tariffs might foot the bill.

The Plan to Hodl Like a Superpower

In his latest interview, Hines detailed how the U.S. aims to scoop up Bitcoin before other countries can fill their bags. Why the rush? Bitcoin is scarce, decentralized, and already winning adoption wars.

He says the government, in partnership with the Treasury Department under Scott Bessent, is currently auditing U.S. BTC holdings (yes, apparently we have some stashed away). Once that’s done, they’ll roll out “budget-neutral” buying strategies designed for speed and scale.

“The goal is to begin the accumulation process as quickly as possible,” Hines emphasized, calling dibs on digital gold.

And he’s not subtle about the mission: turning the U.S. into “the Bitcoin superpower of the world.”

Trump’s First 100 Days: Crypto Gets Green Lights

This isn’t just posturing. Trump’s first 100 days back in office have been a crypto rollercoaster, with rails. A sweeping executive order kicked things off, dissolving Operation Choke Point 2.0, ending crypto-hostile regulations, and setting up a new interagency crypto squad to rewrite the rulebook.

Stablecoin and market structure legislation is on deck for summer, and the Genius Act (yes, really) is headed to a Senate vote soon, aiming to lock in a regulatory framework that doesn’t treat crypto like contraband.

But What About Bitcoin’s Price?

Despite the hype, Bitcoin’s price barely blinked up just 0.76% in the last 24 hours, sitting at $95,039 at press time. But if Bo Hines is right, the real movement is happening behind the scenes, not on the charts.
