Congressman Pushes Bitcoin ATMs into Federal Buildings—Because Nothing Says ’Transparency’ Like Crypto in the Halls of Power
Congressman Pushes Bitcoin ATMs into Federal Buildings—Because Nothing Says ’Transparency’ Like Crypto in the Halls of Power

In a move that blends disruptive fintech with bureaucratic irony, a U.S. lawmaker wants to install crypto ATMs in government facilities. Because clearly, what the SEC needs is a literal machine printing exit ramps from traditional finance.
The proposal—delivered with a straight face—frames crypto access as a ’public service.’ Never mind that most federal employees still can’t expense a Starbucks latte without tripping over three layers of approval.
If adopted, these kiosks would let bureaucrats swap dollars for Bitcoin between committee hearings—a tantalizing prospect for anyone who’s watched Congress fumble tech regulation for a decade. Just don’t ask how they’ll handle the ’forgot my hardware wallet’ helpdesk tickets.
