Kennedy would sign an order requiring the Justice Department and US Marshalls to transfer the 204,000 Bitcoin held by the United States to the Federal Reserve to be held as a “strategic asset,” he said. Furthermore, Kennedy said he would also order the Treasury Department to purchase of 500 Bitcoin (BTC) daily until the reserve reaches at least 4 million BTC.


The United States would attain “a position of dominance no other country will be able to usurp” and its Bitcoin reserve would eventually reach a value of “hundreds of trillions of dollars,” he promised.Source: Autism Capital


In addition, Kennedy would order all transactions between Bitcoin and the dollar to be nonreportable and nontaxable by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). He would also order the IRS to treat Bitcoin as eligible for exchange into real property under the 1031 Exchange program that provides incentive for real estate investment.

“Transactional freedom [is] as important as freedom of expression in the 1st Amendment,” Kennedy said, and Bitcoin can provide that freedom and help restore the United States economy to its condition before President Richard Nixon took the US dollar off the gold standard to fund the Vietnam war. Kennedy said:“Fiat currency was invented to fund war. […] If the world was on a BTC standard, there would be no more war because you can’t print Bitcoin.”


Kennedy would hire Space Force Major Jason Lowery as a national security adviser. Lowery is known for the thesis he wrote at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that described Bitcoin as a “cyber-defense system” and “soft power projection” that would the online identities in cyberspace.


Kennedy would back US Treasury bills, notes and bonds with hard assets, including precious metals and Bitcoin to strengthen the dollar, rein in inflation and usher in a new era of financial stability. Then, “the world will rush to back an American-backed decentralized currency,” he said.
