The US government is considering appreciating its gold reserves, with the aim of paying for a National Bitcoin (BTC) reserve without using tax money. Bo Hines, director of the Crypto Advisory Council of the White House, announced this in a conversation with investor Anthony Pompliano.
Bitcoin without tax money
The American gold certificates are currently being put in the books for just 43 dollars per ounce, while the market price is around $ 3,200. By increasing that book value, according to Hines, the Ministry of Finance could create an accounting surplus with which Bitcoin can be purchased, without actually having to sold gold.
In addition to gold, the US government also looks at alternative sources of income, such as levies on import. According to Hines, there are “literally endless ways” to install a strategic Bitcoin reserve without direct pressure on the budget.
The first filling of that reserve comes from seized Bitcoin in criminal cases. But the larger plan is all about setting up budget -neutral methods to keep purchasing structurally Bitcoin.
Since the signing of the presidential decree on March 6, the White House moves remarkably quickly towards a pro-Crypto policy. Hines talks about a ‘startup mentality’ in policy -making. In July or August, a policy document is expected to summarize the US vision on cryptocurrencies.
Controversies remain out of the picture
Strikingly enough, Hines was not questioned about Official Trump (Trump), the memecoin of President Trump, who, according to critics, was primarily a lucrative move for Trump-Liedened entities. Democratic representative Maxine Waters even spoke of a “back pull” that damages confidence in cryptocurrencies.
There is also no information about the internal audit of the American Bitcoin reserves, which should have been completed within 30 days of the Trump Decree. Whether that deadline has been met remains unclear for the time being.
The possible revaluation of gold brings a classic state reserve in connection with a modern risk -making. The combination of these two worlds underlines the ambitious change of course of the US on the world stage of cryptofinanciën.
