United States White House advisers are actively exploring new ways for the government to acquire Bitcoin without increasing the federal budget or burdening taxpayers, according to Bo Hines, Executive Director of the President’s Council of Advisers on Digital Assets.

This decision could lead to increased demand and a positive price impact on Bitcoin, as institutional interest from government entities often boosts market confidence.

In a recent interview at the White House with investor Anthony Pompliano, Hines said the administration is considering a broad set of creative approaches. These include, among others, using tariff revenue and revaluing gold reserves.

Further, he said that any move to accumulate Bitcoin must be “budget neutral” and that the administration is confident about finding viable solutions.

Treasury Assets May Be Revalued for Digital Reserves.

We have, as the President likes to say, many high IQ people working on these solutions,” Hines said. He also pointed to ongoing discussions among agencies such as the Department of Commerce and the Treasury, coordinated through an interagency working group.

Senator Cynthia Lummis’s Bitcoin Act of 2025 proposes a noteworthy idea that is gaining traction. The bill suggests revaluing the U.S. Treasury’s outdated gold certificates. Currently, these certificates are recorded at approximately $43 an ounce, even though gold trades above $3,216 today.

Updating the valuation to match current market prices could unlock billions in surplus capital. The government could then redeploy that into Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset.

Hines acknowledged that the proposal is still moving through Congress. He noted, “we’ll see how many co-sponsors she can get” as it progresses. Yet he said that the administration is not limiting itself to just one option.

During the interview, Hines said the White House is also developing a digital asset framework outlining how the US plans to support crypto innovation and promote US dollar stablecoins worldwide.

It’ll provide clarity on many aspects of this space, whether it be from tokenization to staking, all sorts of things,” Hines said, adding that the Trump administration has been moving rapidly to make America the “crypto capital of the world, as the president had explored for U.S. Bitcoin reserve and stablecoin regulations as a top priority.

We’re moving at tech speed, it’s like we’re a startup in this building,” Hines said. “We’ll continue moving this along quite quickly.”
