$
85,632, valued at approximately $17.7 billion. Recent reports suggest that the Trump administration is seriously considering increasing its Bitcoin assets. Sources from Solid Intel indicate that the administration is evaluating the possibility of using revenues from imposed tariffs for direct Bitcoin purchases.
Utilizing Tariff Revenues for Bitcoin Purchases on the Table
An official close to the Trump administration has revealed that funds generated from the tariffs implemented under U.S. foreign trade policies could be redirected toward alternative assets like Bitcoin instead of traditional methods. This move is not only seen as part of a strategic reserve policy but also signals a tendency for the U.S. Treasury to lean towards non-dollar assets.
This unofficial announcement marks another significant shift in the U.S. government’s official stance on Bitcoin. Following Trump’s arrival in office, it was decided that seized Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies from criminals would not be sold but instead formed a reserve. However, no new purchases were planned. If the Trump administration indeed uses some of the revenues generated from tariffs for Bitcoin purchases, this could have a positive impact on the cryptocurrency market.
U.S. Bitcoin Holdings
Currently, the U.S. government holds approximately 0.99% of Bitcoin’s maximum supply, which totals 21 million, represented by its 207,189 BTC. If new purchases are made, this proportion could increase further.
U.S. Bitcoin Policy Shifting in a New Direction
The growing interest in Bitcoin by the U.S. is not limited to reserve management. Considering the approvals for Spot ETFs, tax regulations, and regulatory actions, Bitcoin’s position within the American financial system is strengthening.
For market participants, these developments indicate a rising institutional confidence in Bitcoin. The prospect of a superpower like the U.S. directly engaging in Bitcoin purchases could support long-term bullish expectations in the market.
