Senator Cynthia Lummis has introduced the B.I.T.C.O.I.N. Act aiming to create a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve by purchasing 1 million bitcoins over five years, financed through gold reserves. The plan includes transparency measures and allows state-level participation, marking a significant step in integrating Bitcoin into national financial strategy.
In March 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order creating the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, utilizing around 200,000 BTC owned by the government to integrate digital assets into state finances.
