Silver Rises Over 120% YTD 
A senior White House official has revealed that the U.S. government may leverage its gold reserves to build a substantial Bitcoin position.
Bo Hines, who serves as executive director of the President’s Council of Advisers on Digital Assets, explained in a recent interview that realizing gains on U.S. gold holdings could provide a budget-neutral pathway to acquire Bitcoin.
This approach would allow the administration to increase national Bitcoin reserves without additional budget allocations. The strategy appears to complement Senator Cynthia Lummis’s Bitcoin Act of 2025, which proposes that the U.S. should acquire approximately 1 million Bitcoin—representing about 5% of the total Bitcoin supply—over a five-year period.
Under this proposal, the acquisition would be funded through the sale of Federal Reserve gold certificates. Hines indicated that while the administration is considering “countless ideas” related to digital assets, President Trump will ultimately implement the “best ideas” moving forward.
