“Trump Ignites Bitcoin Frenzy: Is the U.S. Government Hoarding Coins for Dominance?”
David Sachs, the White House's head of artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency, revealed that Trump’s latest executive order could lead the U.S. government to significantly purchase Bitcoin, initiating an unprecedented wealth strategy. Sachs stated that this “zero-cost budget” plan is not limited to treating Bitcoin as a strategic reserve but will also actively expand holdings.
According to Sachs, Trump’s order clearly distinguishes two main objectives: first, to establish a pure Bitcoin strategic reserve, utilizing approximately 200,000 tokens accumulated by the government over years from judicial seizures, positioning it as the “strongest digital value storage”; second, to authorize Treasury Secretary Basent and Commerce Secretary Lutnik to explore ways to increase Bitcoin holdings without tax burdens. Additionally, the government will leverage other seized digital assets to create a diversified reserve.
Upon the news breaking, the price of Bitcoin unexpectedly plummeted, dropping from $90,251 to $85,091, before recovering to $87,476 at the time of publication. Sachs emphasized that this radical strategy aims to strengthen the U.S. position in the global digital economy, but the market reaction seems to suggest uncertainty. Is this Trump’s visionary layout or a risky gamble? The answer remains to be seen.
