U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Still in Motion — Bo Hines Confirms Despite Report Silence

Despite omission from recent White House crypto policy reports, Bo Hines, executive director of the Presidential Council of Advisers on Digital Assets, affirmed that the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) remains active and under development.

U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Still in Motion — Bo Hines Confirms Despite Report Silence

What’s Behind the Story?

  • The SBR was established via an executive order on March 6, 2025, giving the U.S. Treasury authority to manage both a Bitcoin reserve and a broader digital asset stockpile. 
  • Hines reiterated: “We believe in accumulation… we have it, it’s been established… we want as much as we can possibly get.” He seats no cap on future expansion. 
  • Although the official 160-page report focuses heavily on regulatory clarity—support for the GENIUS stablecoin Act, market structure reform, and blockchain infrastructure—it only references the Bitcoin reserve briefly in its final section. Why It Matters Globally

Coinccino Commentary

“Even when the report stays silent, Hines’s message rings loud: the U.S. is quietly laying the foundation for Bitcoin as strategic capital. It may not be flashy yet, but in Washington and beyond, crypto is shaping up as national balance sheet material.”
