Federal Bitcoin Strategy Takes Shape

The Bitcoin Act, formally known as the Boosting Innovation, Technology, and Competitiveness Through Optimized Investment Nationwide Act, outlines a plan to acquire 1 million Bitcoin within five years. The initiative proposes funding through reallocation of Federal Reserve assets rather than new debt issuance.

During her address at the Nashville Bitcoin conference, Lummis stated: "With a strategic Bitcoin reserve, we will have an asset that, before 2045, can cut our debt in half."

State-Level Momentum Builds

Several states are advancing cryptocurrency initiatives:

  • Ohio: Representative Derek Merrin introduced legislation enabling state treasury Bitcoin investments
  • Pennsylvania: Proposed legislation permits up to 10% of treasury reserves in Bitcoin
  • Texas: Introduced measures for Bitcoin tax payments and donation-funded reserves

According to Arkham Intelligence, the federal government maintains approximately $21 billion in Bitcoin holdings, primarily from law enforcement seizures. These assets could potentially integrate into the proposed strategic reserve.

The appointment of David Sacks as Crypto Czar signals a shift in federal cryptocurrency policy. Trump’s administration has committed to protecting domestic mining operations and establishing regulatory frameworks to position the U.S. as a global cryptocurrency leader.

On December 6, Trump emphasized Sacks’ role in developing clear legal guidelines for the cryptocurrency industry’s growth within the United States. The initiative includes a mandatory 20-year holding period for strategic reserve assets, indicating a long-term commitment to Bitcoin as a national asset class.
