The lawyer and investor of Bitcoin Anthony Pompiano sat with Bo Hines, executive director of the Council of Consultants of President Donald Trump for digital resources, in an interview with the White House who offered the most detailed look ever to the ambitious plans of the Administration for a reserve of American strategic Bitcoin.
The conversation has touched a wide range of political priorities – from the regulation of Stablecoin and from the integrity cooperation to rates, law enforcement and legislative developments – but a focal point of the conversation was the intention of the administration to accumulate Bitcoin without increasing the burden on taxpayers.
“Obviously we clarified that we want to acquire as much as possible,” Hines said in Pompiano. “I said that repeatedly during my time on the language circuit over the past few months … it establishes that we must acquire Bitcoin in neutral budget ways that do not cost a penny to the taxpayer.”
One of the most captivating proposals provides for the use of the revenue of the rates to finance Bitcoin’s purchases, which was interesting, given the recent global commercial war around the rates and a recent economic projection of the White House stating that “a global 10% rate would increase the economy of $ 728 billion”.
“I think we have, as the president likes,” many people in tall Qi “who work on these solutions,” added Hines. “We will meet and look at some of these ideas and we will really get to the best solution.”
Hines also turned to Bitcoin Act of Senator Cynthia Lummis of the Senator of 2025, who asks the United States to acquire 200,000 BTC per year for five years, building a reserve from million bitcoins.
“I think Senator Lummis really has an interesting idea with the Bitcoin act,” said Hines. “Here what you would do is – the gold certificates that we currently have at the treasure is to … most of which I think about $ 43 are evaluated the ounce … now we are sitting at what, $ 3,100 an ounce … and if you have taken that value, what you could do is use that extra loan to buy more bitcoin.”
As Hines pointed out, “there are literally countless ways in which we can do it … everything is on the table and, as we have said, we want how much we can get”.
After the interview, Pompiano published a video on his account X sharing his ten key takeaways of his interview with Hines, which is located below, and the complete interview can be found here on the Pompiano YouTube channel here.
