Senator Lummis: U.S. is ‘going to build’ a strategic BTC reserve

As a seasoned crypto investor with a keen interest in political developments, I find Senator Cynthia Lummis’ vision for a strategic Bitcoin Reserve truly intriguing. Having witnessed the rise and fall of several cryptocurrencies over the years, I can attest that such a move would not only solidify America’s position as a global leader but also provide a much-needed boost to our economy.


In hours following Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. Presidential Election, Senator Cynthia Lummis restated her intentions to establish a strategic Bitcoin Reservation within the United States.

Advancements in establishing a national strategic Bitcoin (BTC) reserve might quicken following the announcement by The Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC that Republican candidate Donald Trump had won the presidential election. Lummis’ tweet on November 6th rekindled public discussions about setting aside America’s $12 billion worth of Bitcoin as a reserve asset, which could offer a potential solution to the growing debt crisis.

The Senator initially revealed her BTC plans at the July Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville. Trump announced his intention to shutter state-backed Bitcoin selling at the same event, receiving praise from crypto supporters. 

After the meeting, Lummis presented authentic papers outlining a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and put forth this plan for discussion. Shortly thereafter, countless American citizens expressed their approval by signing letters and petitions.

The increased influence of Republicans in Congress might pave the way for this bill to become an actual law. Notably, as per Stand With Crypto, around 247 candidates supportive of cryptocurrency secured seats in the House of Representatives. Moreover, there are still several Senate positions that could potentially go to pro-crypto candidates.

If Donald Trump fulfills his cryptocurrency pledges and Republicans manage to take control of all three branches of government (legislative trifecta), there’s a possibility that the United States might be the first significant global power to acknowledge Bitcoin as a national reserve asset. Currently, the U.S. is the biggest sovereign owner of Bitcoin, with approximately 203,239 tokens in its possession, as revealed by Arkham.
