Under the proposal, the Treasury would revalue existing gold certificates\u2014many of which are still listed at just $43 per ounce\u2014closer to the current market price of around $3,100.<\/p>\n<p>Hines explained the core idea during the interview. <em>\u201cWhat we would do is you\u2019d revalue the gold certificates that we currently have at Treasury, most of which are valued I think around like $43 an ounce, which is a lot lower than what it\u2019s really worth,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n<p>By updating the valuation, the Treasury could gain access to additional funds without creating new debt. Those funds, in turn, could be used to buy Bitcoin as a strategic asset.<\/p>\n<p>Gold certificates were originally issued between 1865 and 1933 as representative currency backed by gold holdings. Although no longer used in daily transactions, they remain on the Treasury\u2019s books at outdated prices.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>350% or 5BTC + <strong>150 Spins!<\/strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.
