Bo Hines, Executive Director of the President’s Council of Advisers on Digital Assets of the White House stated that the administration is pursuing inventive avenues to obtain more Bitcoin, including tariff revenue and revalued gold reserves.
In a conversation with crypto investor Anthony Pompliano, Hines said, “Everything’s on the table” as the U.S. seeks to expand its Bitcoin position.
According to Hines, one of the most discussed proposals is Senator Cynthia Lummis’ Bitcoin Reserve Act of 2025, that the U.S. Treasury gold certificates, currently valued at $43 an ounce, be revalued to market price—currently sitting at $3,223.61 per ounce. The revaluation could provide a significant amount of money to buy Bitcoin for the nation’s reserves without taking on any new debt, said Hines.
“But here what you would do is you’d revalue the gold certificates that we currently have at Treasury, most of which are valued, I think, around like $43 an ounce, which is a lot lower than what it’s we’re at, so now we’re sitting at what $3,100 an ounce, being the price of gold. If you took that value, you could use that extra funding to buy Bitcoin, which can be used for the reserve, but that’s just one idea.”
The interview took place in the White House, where Hines shared some particularly interesting ideas about Bitcoin and also indicated the plan for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
Hines also a, “We’re looking at many creative ways, whether it be from tariffs or something else. I mean, there are countless ways in which you can do this.”
