Analyst Jiang Jinz has mentioned in several ways that the US can buy bitcoin for its strategic reserve, in which it is in the event of which it seized BTC.
Analyst and Museum Labs founder Jiang Jinz has reported that it is likely that the US will still need to achieve the Bitcoin (BTC) that is still moving forward. According to him, only 100,000 BTCs can be considered as “real stores” out of the US government -owned total. This is because about 50% of the seized BTC should be returned to Bitfinex.
In January 2025, the US Federal Court ruled that in 2016, Bitfinex Hack should be returned to the exchange of 119,754 BTC in theft. The BTC is currently conducted after the seizure of the officials by the US government.
“In addition, most of these were seized in the early days when bitcoin was useless. It may take a long time to seize equal quantity of coins in the future, ”Jinz said in a translation Post,
Therefore, the analyst and the founder of the museum labs offered some options that will enable the Trump administration to buy more bitcoins without using the taxpayer fund.
First, he suggests selling gold to increase the BTC holdings of the US government. The two assets have been combined together for a long time, especially after the announcement of the bitcoin reserve when the price of the two assets fell around the same time, Jinz said.
Apart from gold, the government can also sell other types of property such as land, buildings, licenses and others. However, he also admitted that the federal government has a limited amount of assets to buy BTC.
“Relating of existing assets is currently the most likely source of old money, which uses income generated by the Gold Reserve or uses Fed deposits for the purchase of bitcoin,” Jinz said.
Another way of the US government can move forward, taking advantage of the existing low computing resources or energy so that they can mine their bitcoins and increase the store. Janez has mentioned Bhutan as an example of a country that collects the government-owned BTC through state-supported crypto mining.
After the White House Crypto Summit on March 7, AI and Crypto Caesar David Sachs said that the US government would not use government funds to buy BTC for its strategic reserve, instead chooses the government’s option to use the government -owned seized assets instead. He claimed that the US government has around 200,000 BTCs, although it has not been audited.
