The Big Pump? Senator Lummis Introduces Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill

Senator Cynthia Lummis has introduced legislation to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, a government initiative that would acquire up to 1 million bitcoins over five years, according to cryptocurrency media reports.

The legislation details a program to purchase approximately 200,000 bitcoins per year. Based on current valuations, the total acquisition could exceed $80 billion.

According to sources familiar with the legislation, the proposed Strategic Bitcoin Reserve would hold acquired cryptocurrencies “in trust for the United States” and conduct purchases “in a transparent and strategic manner to minimize market disruption.”

Market analysts note that the bill comes amid recent cryptocurrency volatility influenced by President Donald Trump’s decision not to liquidate approximately $20 billion in Bitcoin seized from criminal operations.

The proposed Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill now introduces a potential government buying program into a market that had been anticipating possible government selling pressure.
