U.S. Races to Become Bitcoin Superpower – White House Crypto Advisor Bo Hines

As Bitcoin adoption spreads across the globe, the United States is working quickly to secure its position as a leader in the crypto space. But this time, it’s not just about innovation or regulation—it’s about building a national Bitcoin reserve.

Yes, you read that right. The U.S. is getting serious about stacking sats at a government level. Why now? What’s pushing this sudden urgency? And how does this fit into a much bigger game plan unfolding behind the scenes?

A recent interview with Bitcoin Magazine revealed some surprising answers and a bold strategy that could reshape how nations compete in the age of digital assets.

Global Bitcoin Race Is On

Bo Hines compared the rush for Bitcoin to a modern-day space race. He said countries are quietly trying to collect Bitcoin as a long-term asset, and the U.S. wants to lead. To do that, the government is moving fast to set up what Hines called a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.”

The plan involves working with the U.S. Treasury to audit any Bitcoin the country already holds and to design ways to buy more—without increasing the national budget. Hines said the goal is to take action fast and use smart strategies that can expand over time.

The idea is gaining momentum, with support from top tech voices like Crypto Czar David Sacks. With his influence and backing from the Treasury, Hines believes the U.S. can lead in Bitcoin adoption, mining, and creating clear regulations for the crypto industry.

Trump’s Bold Vision With Bitcoin

These efforts support Donald Trump’s larger plan for digital assets. He has promised to make the United States the “crypto capital of the world.”

Bo Hines explained that Trump wants the U.S. to become the first country to be known as “the Bitcoin superpower of the world.” He also called Bitcoin “digital gold,” something rare, valuable, and likely to grow stronger over time.

Executive Orders and Major Policy Shifts

To support this vision, Hines pointed to steps already taken during Trump’s first 100 days back in office. One of the major moves was an executive order that ended “Operation Chokepoint 2.0,” a campaign that many believe unfairly targeted crypto companies. 

Along with that, the SEC dropped some major lawsuits, and U.S. banking regulators began to ease their rules on crypto firms.

U.S. Leads in Bitcoin Holdings

Matthew Pines, Executive Director at the Bitcoin Policy Institute, shared an interesting fact about the U.S. position on Bitcoin. He said the United States likely owns around 35% to 40% of all the Bitcoin that has ever been mined. 

In comparison, the country holds only about 8% to 10% of the world’s above-ground gold. This shows how strongly the U.S. is already positioned in the Bitcoin space and why building a national Bitcoin reserve makes even more sense.

With Bitcoin becoming a tool of power and policy, the U.S. is working to shape the future!
