U.S. May Convert Gold Holdings to Bitcoin, Says White House Digital Asset Adviser

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.

Here’s the chain: hot inflation forced traders to reprice the Fed toward rate hikes, which lifted the dollar, which pressured gold. The short-term mechanics and the long-term case are two different things — and today is a perfect illustration of why.

CPI Hits 3.8%. Gold Falls. The Mechanism Nobody Explains

April CPI just printed 3.8% — the highest reading since May 2023 — and gold is down anyway. A new hawkish Fed chair takes over Friday, the Strait of Hormuz is still closed, and central banks bought through gold’s entire 16% correction from its January high. Here’s what each of those facts actually means for long-term holders.

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
