Senator Lummis Calls for Establishing a National Bitcoin Reserve as Bitcoin Investment Trends Spread Globally
U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis recently spoke at the Bitcoin 2025 conference, stating that U.S. military leaders are staunch supporters of a Bitcoin strategic reserve.
After conversing with military generals, she came to the profound realization that economic power is as important as military power, especially when confronting aggressors around the world.
Lummis likened Bitcoin to 'digital gold' and suggested that the U.S. adopt a holding strategy similar to that of gold. She mentioned that President Trump supports her Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act, which aims to inject up to 1 million BTC into the U.S. Treasury over the next five years, accounting for about 5% of the total supply.
Lummis emphasized that China's mining ban in 2021 accelerated the Bitcoin industry's shift to North America. She believes the U.S. should seize this energy advantage by establishing a national Bitcoin reserve system to gain a strategic edge in the competition of the digital economy.
Lummis pointed out that Bitcoin reserves are receiving increasing support from various states, with 30 states considering promoting this initiative this year. Among them, Arizona, Texas, and New Hampshire have already advanced legislation in 2025 aimed at designating cryptocurrency as a state-level strategic reserve asset.
It is noteworthy that this trend is also spreading globally. For instance, the UAE is investing in Bitcoin through U.S. BTC ETFs, and the Czech Republic is considering including digital assets in the central bank's asset allocation.
In summary, Lummis's core argument is that establishing a national Bitcoin reserve is the ultimate strategy to ensure the U.S. maintains an advantage in global geopolitical competition.
