Trump’s BTC Obsession: How Much is Too Much? 🚀

by

Bo Hines, the digital czar of Trump’s empire, is on a Bitcoin binge. “We want as much Bitcoin as we can get,” he says, as if he’s at a Bitcoin buffet. 🍽️

Trump, our very own crypto cowboy, has signed a couple of fancy Executive Orders. One to create a regulatory framework for digital assets, and another to start a Bitcoin piggy bank. Because campaign promises are like crypto – shiny and unpredictable.

On March 6, Trump decided to count his digital chickens before they hatched. An audit of America’s BTC nest egg revealed about 200,000 tokens. And guess what? They’re looking to buy more, without actually spending any money. Magic! ✨

Hines took the stage on March 18 in New York, hosted by Blockworks, and dropped some truth bombs. “BTC is like digital gold,” he said. “And how much gold does a country want? As much as we can get, duh.” 🙄

JUST IN – 🇺🇸 President Trump’s Executive Director on digital assets: “We talked about ways of acquiring more Bitcoin in budget neutral ways.”

We want “as much as we can get.” 🚀
