The White House Crypto Chief, David Sacks, has confirmed that the Trump administration is not currently considering selling government gold reserves to acquire more Bitcoin. However, federal departments will explore budget-neutral strategies to expand the newly announced Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The decision to establish the reserve was made after President Donald Trump issued an executive order, combining around 200,000 BTC obtained through criminal and civil seizures. The Departments of Treasury and Commerce will develop strategies to acquire additional government BTC that do not impose additional costs on taxpayers. The administration has also stated that Bitcoin deserves special treatment compared to other cryptocurrencies due to its security and decentralization.
