A proposal raised by financial analysts suggests that the United States could convert part of their gold reserves into Bitcoin. The possible unprecedented measure reignites debates on the institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies and the directions of global economic policy.
A senior official from the White House raised the possibility of the United States using part of their gold reserves to acquire Bitcoin. The idea, according to him, would be a way to strengthen the country’s presence in the crypto-assets market without impacting the budget.
Buying Bitcoin with Gold Reserves
Bo Hines, executive director of the Presidential Council of Advisors on Digital Assets, spoke on the subject in an interview. He stated that converting the gains from the gold reserves into Bitcoin would be a viable strategy and budget-neutral.
The proposal is related to the Bitcoin Act of 2025, a project presented by Senator Cynthia Lummis. The text suggests that the U.S. acquire up to 1 million bitcoins over five years.

After nearly 30 bids and competition among industry giants, a Spanish company purchases one of the largest airports in Brazil for almost R$ 3 billion and takes over the management of Galeão in a concession that will last until 2039.
This represents about 5% of the total available supply of the digital currency.
To finance this purchase, the plan would be to sell gold certificates from the Federal Reserve. According to Hines, this would be an efficient way to transfer value between strategic assets.
Trump Support and Market Impact
President Donald Trump also emphasized the importance of the measure. In a pre-recorded video, he highlighted the desire to make the United States the world’s leading Bitcoin power.
The speech aimed to convey confidence to investors and demonstrate commitment to financial innovation.
“It’s about time our president started accumulating assets for the American people,” said Hines, highlighting Trump’s role in driving this strategy.
Despite the recent market stagnation, the presidential commitment excited part of the sector. Analysts point out that, if the plan materializes, the U.S. could become a dominant force in the crypto universe.
Strategic Change
The mere possibility of using gold to buy Bitcoin already signals a relevant shift in the country’s economic policy. If approved, the Bitcoin Act of 2025 could alter the global balance of digital assets — and position the U.S. as a leader in the sector.
