U.S. Must Audit Its Bitcoin and Start Buying More, Says Bitcoin Bond CEO
As the global race for digital monetary supremacy accelerates, one voice in the Bitcoin community is urging the United States to take bold and immediate action. Pierre Rochard, CEO of The Bitcoin Bond Company and prominent advocate for Catholic Bitcoiners, believes it’s time the U.S. treats Bitcoin as a strategic national asset — starting with a full audit of the government’s existing holdings and a structured plan for aggressive accumulation.
Speaking on TheStreet Roundtable with Scott Melker, Rochard laid out a provocative vision that could redefine how America manages its sovereign balance sheet in the digital age.
From HODL to Hedge: Bitcoin as a Strategic Reserve Asset
Why the U.S. Needs a Bitcoin Audit Now
According to Rochard, the first step in building a Bitcoin-driven sovereign strategy is simple: find out how much BTC the U.S. actually owns.
“The first step is to audit what Bitcoin do we currently hold and what has the Biden administration done during their four years?” Rochard said. “It was very opaque as to how they were disposing of the Bitcoin on the U.S. balance sheet.”
Much of this BTC came from legal seizures by agencies like the DOJ or IRS, but exact holdings and disposal methods remain largely hidden from public scrutiny. This lack of transparency, Rochard argues, is a strategic liability.
The Case for Treating Bitcoin Like a National Resource
Rochard says he coined the term “strategic Bitcoin reserve” back in 2020 — and now that idea is finally gaining traction in Washington. With renewed interest under the Trump administration, the time to formalize the concept through executive order may have arrived.
“Bitcoin is not just a speculative asset,” Rochard emphasized. “It’s a long-term strategic hedge against monetary debasement, sovereign debt crises, and centralized financial systems.”
In his view, treating Bitcoin like oil or gold — an essential national resource — is no longer fringe thinking. It’s economic prudence.
Accumulating Bitcoin Without Blowing the Budget
Budget-Neutral Bitcoin Buying? Yes, It’s Possible
With federal deficits already running high, the logical pushback to BTC accumulation is cost. But Rochard believes there’s a fiscally responsible path forward.
“The issue is going to be how do we accumulate Bitcoin in a budget-neutral manner?” he said. The answer might lie in a strategy borrowed from none other than MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor.
Rochard cited the approach presented by Andrew Haines at the recent Bitcoin for America Summit: issue Bitcoin-linked treasury bonds.
How a Bitcoin Treasury Bond Could Work
Here’s the concept: The U.S. Treasury could issue a new class of bonds that function like traditional treasuries — with one key twist. 90% of proceeds go toward general budget obligations, while 10% is allocated to BTC accumulation.
This hybrid structure would:
-
Preserve fiscal discipline
-
Offer investors exposure to long-term Bitcoin upside
-
Potentially reduce the overall cost of capital for the U.S. Treasury
“This really is a great way to look at what Michael Saylor’s doing with MicroStrategy and apply that corporate approach to a sovereign-grade approach,” Rochard explained.
Strategic Bitcoin Reserves as a National Advantage
Bitcoin as a Geopolitical Hedge
Rochard’s broader thesis rests on the belief that Bitcoin is a geopolitical asset.
Other nations — including China and Russia — are accelerating development of CBDCs and exploring gold-based or digital trade settlement systems. In this landscape, America’s early move into Bitcoin could offer an asymmetric advantage.
“If the U.S. doesn’t aggressively accumulate Bitcoin, someone else will,” he warns. “And that could tilt the balance of financial power away from Washington.”
Financial Innovation Meets Sovereign Strategy
By merging public sector balance sheet management with crypto-native strategies, the U.S. could become the first major economy to fully integrate Bitcoin into its monetary toolkit. The result: a new kind of fiscal sovereignty that blends debt issuance, digital asset accumulation, and investor demand for inflation-resistant alternatives.
What Comes Next? Policy, People, and Political Will
Trump’s Advisors Are Already on It
Rochard notes that Trump has already tasked trusted financial advisors — including Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick and hedge fund manager Bryan Bessent — to explore policy paths forward. That’s a strong sign this isn’t just rhetoric. Strategic Bitcoin policy could soon become part of America’s financial DNA.
America Needs a Bold New Financial Vision
“Give bond investors Bitcoin upside… and build a strategic Bitcoin reserve that secures America’s financial future,” Rochard concluded. In his view, this approach is not only forward-thinking — it’s necessary for national resilience.
Audit, Accumulate, Advance
Bitcoin is no longer just a tech experiment or a retail trading fad. It’s a sovereign asset class in the making — and the U.S. needs to act accordingly.
The roadmap is clear: Audit existing Bitcoin holdings, introduce innovative bond structures for BTC accumulation, and formalize a strategic reserve policy that protects American interests in the coming decades.
As nations rethink money in a digital world, those who act first — and act wisely — will shape the future. According to Pierre Rochard, America still has the chance to lead that charge.
