Lummis’ Strategic Bitcoin Bitcoin Reserve Bill One Step Closer in the Senate
The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill would create a reserve for the largest cryptocurrency and an arrangement putting the United States closer to global leader status in the adoption and management of crypto, introduced on the 31st of July.
This legislation would require the US Treasury to establish a secure, decentralized network of Bitcoin vaults and strictly enforce both cybersecurity and physical security over them. The intent of the bill is to be able to hold up to 1 million Bitcoin by using existing Treasury funds in a manner similar to gold allocations.
Lummis wants to make a strong USD while creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve against inflation, thus enhancing the leading role of the US in the world financial system.
Herself got support from former President Donald Trump himself through his speech at the Bitcoin 2024 conference on the 27th of July in Nashville, claiming he definitely is for holding at least 5% of the global supply of Bitcoin in the hands of the US government during a period of time of at least 20 years, which is going to reduce the national debt.
Legislation Gains Support from Officialdom to Citizenry
This is an entirely bipartisan effort. There are 1,333 letters to Democratic Senators, 850 to Republicans, and 41 to Independents. Huge political support is shown within the bill for strategic vision.
Pierre Rochard, VP of Research at Bitcoin miner Riot Platform, signaled that strategic Bitcoin reserve would be quite instrumental in helping manage national debt.
