bitcoin's lawyer and investor, Anthony Pompliano, sat down with Bo Hines, executive director of the advisors of President Donald Trump for digital assets, in an interview of the White House that offered the most detailed aspect so far in the ambitious administration plans for a strategic reserve of strategic Bitin of the United States.

The conversation touched a wide range of policy priorities, from the regulation of the stable and inter -institutional cooperation to tariffs, the application of the law and legislative developments, but a focal point of the conversation was the intention of the administration to accumulate aggressively bitcoin without increasing the burden of taxpayers.
“Obviously, we have made it very clear that we want to acquire as much as we can,” Hines told Pompliano. “I have said that repeatedly during my time in the oratory circuit during the last months … it stipulates that we have to acquire bitcoin in neutral budget forms that do not cost the taxpayer a penny.”
One of the most striking proposals implies the use of tariff revenues to finance bitcoin's purchases, which was interesting given the recent global trade war around rates and a recent economic projection of the White House which indicates that “a 10% global rate would increase the economy by $ 728 billion.”
“I think we have, as the president likes to say, 'many people of high intellectual coefficient' working on these solutions,” Hines added. “We will join and develop some of these ideas and we will really reach the best solution.”

Hines also addressed bitcoin's law proposed by Senator Cynthia Lummis of 2025, which requires the USA.
“I think Senator Lummis has a really interesting idea with bitcoin's law,” said Hines. “What you would do here is: you revalue the gold certificates that we currently have in the Treasury … most of which I think are valued in around $ 43 per ounce … now we are sitting on what, $ 3,100 per ounce … and if you take that value, what you could do is use that additional financing to buy more bitcoin.”
As Hines emphasized: “There are literally innumerable ways in which we can do this … everything is on the table, and as we have said, we want as much as we can get.”
After the interview, Pompliano published a video in his x account that shared his ten best key conclusions of his interview with Hines, which can be found below, and the full interview can be found here on the YouTube channel of Pompliano here.
