US President Donald Trump’s crypto liaison has confirmed that the administration is still keen on a strategic Bitcoin reserve, despite only briefly being mentioned in a recently published crypto policy report.
“We do believe in accumulation,” said Robert “Bo” Hines, the executive director of the US President’s Council of Advisers on Digital Assets, said in an interview on Crypto in America on Wednesday, when asked about the US strategic Bitcoin reserve.
“We have it, it’s been established [...] we also have the strategic national digital assets stockpile,” he said, adding that Bitcoin is in “a class of its own and everyone recognizes that.”
He also said that the administration wants to “give credence” to the work and developments happening across other ecosystems, but did not mention any other digital assets or platforms.
