Representatives of the White House indicates Bitcoin purchases without increasing the US debt
At the recently held Bitcoin 2025 conference, David Sacks, advisor to the White House, opened the door for a possible increase in the Bitcoin stocks of the US government-but only if this is possible without increasing the deficit or tax.
In a camera discussion with the Gemini founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, Sacks said that there are no formal plans, but there is a legal framework that under certain fiscal conditions a further accumulation of Bitcoin. According to Sacks, either the Ministry of Commerce or the Ministry of Finance would have to find unused funds from existing programs in order to finance the measure of budget-neutral.
“If you find a way to do this without new debts or taxes, you already have the authority,” said Sacks, referring to a president of the president in March, with which a federal crypto reserve was set up and additional purchases were approved under these conditions.
The US government currently has over 198,000 BTC-a large part of it comes from top-class criminal proceedings such as the investigation against Silk Road and the hacker attack on Bitfinex. The Ministry of Justice recently received approval for the sale of these assets, but so far only a small part of it has been liquidated.
Sacks emphasized that future purchases would depend on political will and fiscal maneuvers, and added that the possibility existed but was by no means guaranteed. Nevertheless, the idea is that the United States strategically increases its Bitcoin reserves-especially in view of the worldwide interest in cryptocurrencies-on the table.
