Here’s an idea have the treasury mint a platinum coin worth $1 trillion. Use the trillion dollars to buy bitcoin.

This would definitely be budget neutral meeting Trump’s requirement of budget neutral.

Trillion Dollar Coin

Yes, the U.S. Treasury could theoretically mint a $1 trillion platinum coin due to a legal loophole. A 1996 law (31 U.S.C. § 5112(k)) grants the Treasury Secretary the authority to mint platinum coins in any denomination the Secretary chooses, unlike coins made from other metals. This provision was originally intended for commemorative coins but does not specify a maximum value, allowing for the possibility of a $1 trillion coin.
