President Donald Trump's administration is exploring new methods to enhance the strategic Bitcoin reserve, including budget-neutral strategies.
New Proposals for Bitcoin Acquisition
In a recent interview, Bo Hines, Executive Director of the White House Crypto Council, noted numerous ideas for the government to acquire Bitcoin.
