US Lawmakers and Execs Push for Strategic Bitcoin Reserve: National Crypto Strategy Takes Shape

Washington wakes up to Bitcoin's strategic value—finally.

Lawmakers and corporate leaders are rallying behind a bold proposal: the United States should establish a national Bitcoin reserve. No longer just a speculative asset, Bitcoin is being positioned as a cornerstone of future economic security.

Why now? Geopolitical shifts and monetary instability have forced a rethink. Traditional reserves look increasingly fragile—Bitcoin offers decentralization, scarcity, and borderless liquidity.

This isn’t just talk. Influential figures from finance and tech are backing the move, arguing that falling behind isn’t an option. Other nations are already stacking sats—shouldn’t the U.S. lead rather than follow?

Of course, skeptics abound. Volatility? Regulatory gray zones? Execution risks? All valid concerns. But since when has waiting for perfect conditions ever been a winning strategy in global finance?

One thing’s clear: the conversation has shifted from 'if' to 'how' and 'how much.'

Maybe this time Wall Street will actually learn what HODL means—before the government does it for them.

Key figures attend bitcoin reserve talks

The meetings brought together top Republicans including Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), and Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN).

Industry leaders such as Michael Saylor of Strategy, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, and Marathon Digital CEO Fred Thiel also participated, joined by advocacy groups like the Digital Chamber and the Digital Power Network.

Details of the BITCOIN Act

The BITCOIN Act, reintroduced by Sen. Lummis in March, builds on a prior executive order signed by President Donald TRUMP that established the idea of a bitcoin reserve and restricted the sale of seized coins.

The bill proposes not only holding seized bitcoin but also acquiring additional coins using “budget-neutral strategies” such as revaluing Gold certificates and Federal Reserve bank earnings.

Support from industry and lawmakers

The proposal has strong backing from both lawmakers and industry.

Hailey Miller, Director of Government Affairs at the Digital Power Network, stated:

“Legislators and the executives at yesterday’s roundtable agree, there is a need [for] a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve law to ensure its longevity for America’s financial future.”

Michael Saylor added to the sense of urgency, stating:

“Bitcoin represents economic freedom.”

He emphasized the need for the US to MOVE quickly to maintain leadership in the evolving financial landscape.

Political momentum grows

The roundtables highlighted growing Republican support. Speaker Mike Johnson told attendees:

“We’re in this together.”

He pledged that House Republicans WOULD work closely with the industry to advance the bitcoin reserve initiative, underscoring the increasing alignment between policymakers and the bitcoin sector.
