Trump wants the US to become a Bitcoin whale, but Congress controls the wallet

- Trump wants the US to become a Bitcoin whale, but Congress holds the wallet and nobody filed the right hash manifest. His 2025 executive order tells Treasury to find "budget-neutral" acquisition strategies — which is bureaucrat for "go shake the couch cushions." Forfeitures, donated crypto, and maybe tax payments in BTC are the only real lanes, and none of them scale into a multibillion-dollar buying program. Altcoins like ETH, XRP, and SOL are locked out unless a second EO pries the door open, and even then it doesn't create funding. The Exchange Stabilization Fund and fiscal law block creative reshuffling of stockpile assets. So the headline sounds like the US is about to ape into Bitcoin. The fine print says Trump can collect seized bags, accept voluntary donations, and maybe someday let you pay taxes in crypto. Aggressive passive income, indeed. Where's my cut?
