Bitcoin traders have been in a holding pattern in recent weeks, anticipating further clarity on US President Donald Trump's approach to digital assets.

Traders have been holding a watchful pattern in anticipation of further clarity on President Donald Trump's approach to digital assets, which could have a significant impact on cryptocurrency markets, especially in terms of the US government’s role in accumulating Bitcoin.

A senior White House official has disclosed that the administration is exploring avenues to integrate the nation's gold reserves in acquiring more of the cryptocurrency, potentially setting the stage for a major market shift, reports Forbes.

"If we actually realise the gains on (the US gold holdings), that would be a budget-neutral way to acquire more Bitcoin," stated Bo Hines, White House Executive Director of the President's Council Of Advisers on Digital Assets, in an interview with the Crypto in America podcast.

Hines added that the Trump administration has been examining multiple strategies and will ultimately choose the one deemed most effective for achieving the president's vision.

Hines further highlighted the Bitcoin Act 2025, introduced by Senator Cynthia Lummis, which proposes purchasing one million Bitcoin, approximately 5% of the total supply, over the years through the sale of Federal Reserve gold certificates to fund the initiative.

The discussion follows President Trump's recent remarks at a digital assets summit, where he reaffirmed his commitment to positioning the US as a global leader in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

"It is high time that our president started accumulating assets for the American people, which is what President Trump is doing rather than taking it away," said Hines, referencing an executive order by Trump preventing the sale of seized Bitcoin and other digital assets.

Trump himself touched upon this in a pre-recorded message at a cryptocurrency conference, where he stated, "I will make the US, the undisputed Bitcoin superpower and the crypto capital of the world."

He highlighted how cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin, can be used to improve banking systems, provide more privacy and security, and ultimately foster greater economic growth.
