Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor and crypto executives met to advocate for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill, the BITCOIN Act. The bill proposes that the U.S. purchase up to 1 million BTC over five years for its reserve.
Saylor and Crypto Executives Push For Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill
A CNBC report confirmed that 18 industry members met on Capitol Hill today to discuss the Bitcoin bill in a roundtable that Digital Chambers organized. Stakeholders present included Saylor, BitMine’s Chairman Tom Lee, and Marathon Digital CEO Fred Thiel.
The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill aims to codify Trump’s executive order that established the BTC reserve. It further proposes that the U.S. acquire up to 1 million BTC over the next five years. Senator Cynthia Lummis, who introduced the bill, proposes that the U.S. can revalue its gold certificates to acquire these coins.
Furthermore, the Senator believes this is a budget-neutral way to acquire more Bitcoin in line with Trump’s executive order. Meanwhile, it is worth noting that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent already confirmed that America’s Bitcoin holdings are worth between $15 billion and $20 billion. This consists primarily of confiscated assets, which the U.S. plans to use to set up the reserve.
Ahead of the event, Saylor made a case for Bitcoin, stating that it represents economic freedom. He further remarked that they were at the event to advocate for the U.S. to embrace BTC by passing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill.
