White House officials say the Trump administration hopes to acquire as much Bitcoin as possible

Golden Finance reports, according to several attendees, at a closed-door roundtable meeting hosted by the Bitcoin Policy Institute on Tuesday, Bo Hines, executive director of the Presidential Digital Assets Working Group told participants that the White House plans to acquire as much bitcoin as possible. When someone in the room asked how much bitcoin the U.S. government might ultimately buy, Hines joked that it's like asking a person how many dollars they want.

A White House official confirmed that Hines did indeed make a statement about acquiring as much bitcoin as possible but added that any such purchases would be "budget-neutral and will not cost taxpayers a penny." A White House official emphasized that Hines did not support any specific legislation during the event.
