A bold new idea is gaining traction in Washington, D.C. — creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve for the United States. The proposal suggests the government should gradually acquire one million BTC over the next five years, treating it as a strategic asset similar to gold.
Big names from the crypto world, including Michael Saylor (MicroStrategy) and Fred Thiel (Marathon Digital Holdings), joined lawmakers like Rep. Nick Begich and Sen. Cynthia Lummis to push this initiative. The conversation was part of a broader effort to align Bitcoin with America’s financial and geopolitical strategy.
The bill builds on earlier moves such as Trump’s executive order that locked in confiscated crypto assets for permanent government holding. This new plan goes a step further, calling for “budget-neutral strategies” to fund the Bitcoin purchase without burdening taxpayers.
With Congress already passing its first major crypto regulation on stablecoins, momentum for broader digital asset policies is growing. Supporters argue that a Bitcoin reserve would strengthen the U.S. position in the global digital economy and ensure competitiveness.
So far, backing has mainly come from Republicans, but efforts are underway to win bipartisan support. The measure is now headed to the Senate Banking Committee and House Financial Services Committee for further discussion.
The talks also included leaders from Riot, Bitdeer, and Cleanspark, with the Digital Power Network (DPN) presenting the plan as a “bipartisan opportunity.”
👉 If adopted, this could mark a historic shift — positioning Bitcoin not just as an investment, but as part of America’s national financial strategy.
