2025 Bitcoin Strategy: U.S. May Buy More BTC Than Ever Before, Says Crypto Czar

2025 Bitcoin Strategy: Government Reserve Set to Outbuy Confiscated BTC

On March 6, President Trump issued an executive order creating the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. In this regard, White House cryptocurrency czar David Sacks described Tuesday’s Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas and how the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve may buy more Bitcoin than the current amount of money it has seized.

Trump’s Bitcoin Reserve Plan: $22B in BTC and a Green Light for More!

About 200,000 BTC ($22 billion) that the federal government already owns from criminal or civil forfeitures—aside from those that still need to be given back to crime victims—will be used to establish the reserve. Furthermore, Trump instructed Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to create budget-neutral plans for acquiring more bitcoin, so long as they don’t result in extra expenses for all Americans.

The executive order establishing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve does allow the government to purchase more if it can be done in a budget-neutral way. Specifically, if either the Commerce Department or the Treasury Department can figure out how to fund it without adding to the debt, then they are allowed to create those programs,

U.S. Eyes More Bitcoin Buys Without Raising Taxes

In particular, the crypto czar mentioned funding such purchases with excess funds from other government initiatives. As previously mentioned by analysts at K33, possible budget-neutral measures would involve a revaluation of gold certificates, the sale of IMF special drawing rights, or surpluses from the U.S. Treasury Exchange Stabilization Fund.

The 60-day deadline for the U.S. Treasury’s assessment of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve passed on May 5, according to a report released by K33 Head of Research Vetle Lunde on Tuesday. No information has been made public as of yet, and traders are keeping a close eye out for any announcements that might be made this week during the main Bitcoin conference.

If we can convince Howard Lutnik or Scott Bessent to buy some, and they can figure out how to fund it without a new tax or without adding to the debt, then we could potentially acquire more bitcoin. I can’t promise anything, but there is a pathway to doing that. The question is just, can we get either the Treasury Department or the Commerce Department to get excited about that? Because if they do and they can figure out how to fund it, they actually do have presidential authorisation ready.
