White House Crypto Advisor Bo Hines Announces Bitcoin News: “Strategic BTC Reserve Efforts Will Accelerate”
US President Donald Trump’s digital asset advisor, Bo Hines, reiterated the government’s commitment to developing a strategic Bitcoin reserve, confirming that this plan will be implemented in the near future.
Hines noted that the US has officially established a digital asset reserve, and that Bitcoin is considered a “unique asset class.” The government’s goal is to “hold as much Bitcoin as possible.”
Trump officially established the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and National Digital Asset Stockpile with an executive order he signed in March. However, the initiative received only brief mention in the White House's cryptocurrency policy report released this week.
Speaking on Crypto in America, Hines said, “We believe in the accumulation strategy. The reserve has been established. We also have a strategic national digital asset stockpile. Bitcoin is in a class of its own, and everyone recognizes that.”
Hines emphasized that establishing the infrastructure requires time and effort, but that the process is progressing well. “There's still a lot to do, but I believe people will like the direction we're heading. Concrete steps will be taken soon.”
While the report cited establishing a regulatory framework to strengthen American leadership in digital financial technologies as a top priority, it did not provide details about the Bitcoin reserve. Hines, however, said the reserve plan was “steadily progressing.”
Hines, who declined to answer questions about how much Bitcoin the federal government holds, said, “I can't disclose that right now. There are a few reasons, but we can share them when the time comes. All I can say is, we want to own as much BTC as we can, and we're working toward that goal.”
According to blockchain analysis firm Nansen, the US government is estimated to hold approximately 198,000 BTC, or approximately $2.35 billion worth of assets.

Fed Voting Member Harker: Fighting Inflation Requires Faster, More Frequent Small Rate Adjustments, Be Vigilant Against Inflation Expectations Becoming Entrenched
Cleveland Federal Reserve President Loretta Mester believes that inflation pressures have spread beyond the energy sector, with AI investments and tariffs driving up costs. To prevent high inflation from becoming entrenched in the economy, she suggests that the Federal Reserve should consider smaller, quicker, and more frequent rate adjustments, rather than waiting for inflation pressures to accumulate and then taking larger actions. She did not explicitly support an interest rate hike in October, emphasizing policy transparency: explaining the response mechanism does not equate to committing to a specific rate path.
Will the US cancel 20-year Treasury bonds? BNP Paribas: It may trigger market panic; Citibank: Positioning 20-year bonds to outperform 10-year bonds
There are market rumors that the U.S. Treasury is considering cutting back or canceling the issuance of 20-year Treasury bonds, which were reinstated in 2020. The yield on 20-year bonds has long been higher than both 10-year and 30-year bonds, resulting in a "hump" in the yield curve and higher financing costs. The market is closely watching this Friday’s routine survey questionnaire, as well as whether a clear signal will be released in the quarterly refunding statement on November 4. Citi suggests positioning in advance, but BNP Paribas warns that such a move could be interpreted as a panic signal that policy tools have been exhausted.
