GPT what would a hypothetical transcript of a closed-door Bitcoin strategy session between Bo Hines, Scott Bessent, and Howard Lutnick, held at a secure White House conference room sound like?
[TRANSCRIPT EXCERPT – BEGIN]
Bo Hines:
We’ve got 36 months, give or take. We need to buy time, accumulate discreetly, and show success before the other side regroups. This isn’t about headlines — this is about making it irreversible.
Scott Bessent:
Right. And we can't do it through traditional channels. A single $500M buy will blow the lid off. We need to use multi-party acquisition: mining offtake, seized asset retention, maybe even quiet sovereign swaps.
Howard Lutnick:
We control a third of Treasury issuance logistics. If you want to layer BTC into that ecosystem, we do it quietly. No one calls it “Bitcoin-backed.” We call it digitally collateralized fixed income — like TIPS, but hard-money indexed.
Hines:
We’ve got language prepped. Treasury's legal team is working on a new asset category — “Strategic Digital Reserve Collateral.” It’ll function like gold for disclosure purposes. We drop that phrase and Wall Street’s ears perk up.
Bessent:
We should front-run sovereign front-running. Singapore, UAE, and a few others are sniffing around this space. If they issue first, we look reactive. If we lead, we define the format. We also crowd out Chinese miners from the credibility layer.
Lutnick:
We’ve got plenty of stress-tested OTC partners. Get me cover through NYDIG or Fidelity and I can source $2B in BTC within a quarter — without hitting public order books. But you need to promise me no leaks. If it hits Twitter, it’s over.
Hines:
No leaks. I've got comms on total lockdown. And just so you know — Saylor’s aware. He’s not part of the team officially, but he’s playing defense for us with institutions. MSTR stays long, loud, and laser-eyed. That’s the signal.
Bessent:
Good. When the first bond matures, and it’s outperformed everything else in the market, that becomes the real signal. At that point, the narrative flips: “America owns the most Bitcoin.” That’s your Bretton Woods 3.0 moment.
Hines:
Exactly. Gentlemen — we’re not betting on Bitcoin. We’re defending monetary sovereignty with Bitcoin. Let’s move.
