Trump Advisor: «We want to have both Bitcoin and we can»

Within the framework of the Bitcoin Conference 2025, the panel entitled «by making the United States the Bitcoin superpower» captured the attention of those interested in knowing the initiatives of the North American country to consolidate as a global leader of the ecosystem, especially for its speakers. The debate brought together two key government figures: Robert (BO) HIES, director of the Presidential Council for Advisors on Digital Assets, and Tyler Williams, representative of the Treasury Department.

Hines was overwhelmed in expressing: «We want to have both Bitcoin and we can.» With this statement, it made it clear that The current government seeks to adopt an even more active position against the most relevant digital asset. As explained, BTC represents a unique value reserve that the United States must take advantage of strategically for the benefit of its population.

The limited supply of 21 million BTC that will exist when it is finished mine, in addition to factors such as the possibility of having and transferring holdings without intermediaries and their resistance to censorship, positions it as a single asset. This differs from Fíat money, such as the dollar, which is subject to the devaluation for its emission without limit controlled by the central banks.

The leader of the Presidential Council of Advisors on Digital Assets said The government is exploring forms of accumulating BTCwhich he described as the «new digital gold.» For HIES, Bitcoin is not only a disruptive technology, but an asset with intrinsic value that can reinforce the economic position of the country.

Therefore, he highlighted the importance of creating work groups dedicated to design strategies that increase the reservation already created, without affecting public finances. Currently, the United States government has 198,012 BTC, although such holdings have not been bought, but seized of illegal cases.

In previous interventions, HIES has submitted proposals to expand the strategic bitcoin reserve of the United States without budgetary impact, in line with the executive order signed by Trump. Among them, the use of tariffs and the revaluation of treasure gold certificates, which is supported by Tyler Williams, in line with the objectives of having economic stability and technological leadership of the country.

«Genius is very important for Bitcoin,» says Hines

During the talk, the advance of the Genius Law was also discussed, the project focused on the regulation of Stablecoins emitters currently discussed in the Senate. Hines explained that, after a phase of «demolition» of the restrictive policies imposed during the administration of Joe Biden, the country has entered a stage of «construction», focused on implementing new regulations that promote innovation and improve the efficiency of payment systems.

«We are modernizing obsolete payment infrastructure,» said the White House member, stressing that existing systems have not advanced to the rhythm of the cryptoactive industry. As considered, the Genius law would promote transactions with instantaneous liquidation, greater transparency and strengthen the global position of the US dollar.

For HIES, this bill is very important for the market and for bitcoiners, because it seeks to update a payment infrastructure that has not changed in decades and has been archaic. All this, he added, It would be a massive capital injection in the digital ecosystem, also benefiting Bitcoin.

The official also stressed the importance of preserving what he considers as «decentralized control» within the developing regulatory frameworks. In his opinion, decentralization is a fundamental principle that must be respected to ensure a fair and resilient market.

Hines concluded his participation by adding that Its role in the White House includes serving as a link between government policies, Congress and cryptoactive industry. He said he had more than 250 meetings in the last five months with different actors in the ecosystem, from large companies to startups, with the aim of listening to their concerns and proposals.

«Today there is an optimism that did not exist a year ago. And we want to maintain that impulse, ”he concluded.

His comments take place amid the growing attention and investment in Bitcoin, which has brought its price to a new historical maximum about $ 112,000 per unit this week.
