The United States government holds an estimated 29,000 Bitcoin (BTC) in its reserves, significantly less than previous unsubstantiated estimates had suggested.
Executive Director Bo Hines of the White House Cryptocurrency Committee oversees the management of these assets, emphasizing strict compliance with legal standards and the safeguarding of asset integrity.
Under a budget-neutral strategy, the government plans to deliberately expand its Bitcoin portfolio over time.
This approach involves acquisition through lawful means like seizures, ensuring growth without requiring new appropriations, while also focusing on responsible portfolio diversification.
While the precise quantum of holdings remains undisclosed as confidential budget information, the overall strategy aligns with established legal and fiscal frameworks.
This deliberate management reflects Bitcoin’s evolving, though carefully managed, role within broader government asset portfolios.
