Senator Lummis Proposes U.S. Bitcoin Reserve at BTC 2025.
Senator Cynthia Lummis advocated for a strategic U.S. Bitcoin reserve at Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas, emphasizing its economic significance.
The proposal could reshape U.S. cryptocurrency policy and influence global Bitcoin supply and market trends.
Lummis Introduces BITCOIN Act of 2025
Senator Cynthia Lummis introduced the BITCOIN Act of 2025, calling for the creation of a strategic U.S. Bitcoin reserve. This initiative was unveiled at the Bitcoin 2025 conference, highlighting its potential to bolster the national economy.
The proposal, endorsed by former President Trump, suggests acquiring up to 1 million Bitcoin over five years. Lummis and political figures like Senators Justice and Blackburn are key supporters of this strategy.
Bitcoin Reserve's Market Impact Explored
Establishing a Bitcoin reserve could significantly impact the market by reducing available Bitcoin supply. The proposal highlights the growing institutional acceptance of Bitcoin as a strategic asset.
Lummis indicated that the reserve could also serve as a hedge against economic issues, including the nation's $36 trillion debt. The plan receives support from military leaders recognizing Bitcoin's potential in economic strength. In her statement, Senator Lummis emphasized: "U.S. military generals are strong advocates for establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve because they recognize economic strength as being equally important as military power."
U.S. Seizes Opportunity Post-China Crypto Ban
China's Bitcoin mining ban has been positioned as an opportunity for the U.S., suggesting a shift in global crypto leadership. Lummis's proposal builds on earlier legislative efforts from 2024.
Experts predict the plan could lead to economic diversification and competition with other nations. Historical parallels suggest strategic reserves may bolster national economic resilience.
