The U.S. government may be able to quickly build a strategic bitcoin reserve under the Trump administration through various methods. These methods include seizing assets, accepting bitcoin for tax payments, purchasing bitcoin directly, selling federal assets for bitcoin, and borrowing bitcoin through loans or bonds. The Department of Justice already holds a significant amount of bitcoin from seizures, and accepting bitcoin for tax payments could further increase their reserves. The government could also acquire bitcoin through public exchanges or private over-the-counter deals, and sell assets exclusively for bitcoin to attract crypto-native buyers. Additionally, they could borrow bitcoin directly from institutional holders or issue bitcoin-denominated bonds. By combining these methods, the U.S. government could accumulate a substantial bitcoin reserve while leveraging its legal authority and financial infrastructure.
