Bitcoin advocate and investor Anthony Pipriano sat down with Beau Hines, executive director of the Presidential Advisory Council of Digital Assets.
The conversation touched on a wide range of policy priorities, from stable regulations and interagency cooperation to tariffs, law enforcement and legislative development, but the focus of the conversation was to actively accumulate Bitcoin without increasing the burden on taxpayers.
“We’re clearly very clear about what we want to get as much as we can,” Hines told Poliano. “I have said it over and over the last few months throughout my time on the speaking circuit, which stipulates that we must acquire Bitcoin in a neutral way that doesn’t cost taxpayers.”
One of the most eye-catching suggestions is to use income from customs duties to fund Bitcoin purchases. This was interesting considering the recent global trade war on tariffs and the recent White House economic forecast that “10% global tariffs will increase the economy by $728 billion.”
“I think we have it just like the president likes to say, ‘many high IQ people’ working on these solutions,” Hines added. “Together, we flesh out some of these ideas and really arrive at the best solution.”
Hines also addressed the senator who proposed the 2025 Bitcoin Act for Senator Cynthia Ramis.
“I think Senator Ramis has some really interesting ideas in the Bitcoin Act,” Hines said. “What you do here is, you reevaluate the gold certificate we currently have with the Treasury… I think most of it is valued at around $43 per ounce… Now we’re sitting at $3,100 per ounce… And what you can do is use that extra fund to buy more bitcoin.”
As Hines emphasized, “There are countless ways we can literally do this. Everything is on the table, and like we said, we want as much as we can.”
