Crypto Czar Sacks Says US Could Possibly "Acquire More Bitcoin"
Authored by Stephen Katte via CoinTelegraph.com,
White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks says the US could buy more Bitcoin if the government can fund the purchase in a “budget-neutral” way without a tax or adding to the growing national debt.
Sacks told Gemini co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss during a May 27 fireside chat at the Bitcoin 2025 conference that while he “can't promise anything,” a pathway does exist for the government to buy more Bitcoin.
However, it would require convincing Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick or Treasury Secretary Scott Besson to OK the buy and fund it “without a new tax or adding to the debt,” Sacks said, adding that “maybe by finding the money from some other program that's not using it — then we could potentially acquire more Bitcoin.”

93% Of All Bitcoin Is Already Mined - Here's What That Means...

How much Bitcoin is left to mine?
Bitcoin's total supply is hardcoded at 21 million BTC, a fixed upper limit that cannot be altered without a consensus-breaking change to the protocol. This finite cap is enforced at the protocol level and is central to Bitcoin's value proposition as a deflationary asset.
As of May 2025, approximately 19.6 million Bitcoin have been mined, or about 93.3% of the total supply. That leaves roughly 1.4 million BTC yet to be created, and those remaining coins will be mined very slowly.
The reason for this uneven distribution is Bitcoin's exponential issuance schedule, governed by an event called the halving. When Bitcoin launched in 2009, the block reward was 50 BTC. Every 210,000 blocks — or approximately every four years — that reward is cut in half.
Because the early rewards were so large, over 87% of the total supply was mined by the end o...
