Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are scrambling to stockpile Bitcoin as the BITCOIN Act of 2025 gains momentum in both chambers of Congress. The ambitious legislation aims to acquire a staggering 1 million BTC over five years. Not your typical government shopping spree.
The Treasury Department would manage this digital fortune with a mandatory holding period of at least 20 years. No quick flips here.
President Trump has already jumped on the Bitcoin bandwagon, signing an executive order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The government reportedly sits on approximately 200,000 BTC from seized assets. That’s right—criminals inadvertently funding America’s digital future. A full audit is underway to determine exactly how much Bitcoin Uncle Sam already owns.
Support is growing across party lines. Twenty-three states have introduced their own Bitcoin reserve legislation, and Representative Tom Emmer believes the federal act will pass during this Congress. Even more shocking? The funding won’t come from taxpayers. The plan relies on Federal Reserve earnings and adjustments to Treasury certificates. Budget neutral, they claim. We’ll see about that.
Bipartisan Bitcoin momentum builds as states race to create reserves without tapping taxpayer wallets. Budget neutrality promised, skepticism remains.
The global Bitcoin race is heating up. Bhutan mines it. El Salvador buys every dip. Saudi Arabia is rumored to be stacking sats behind closed doors. America doesn’t want to get left behind—typical. The limited supply cap of only 21 million Bitcoin creates natural scarcity that governments can’t resist.
Quarterly financial reports and public audits by the Comptroller General will supposedly keep everything transparent. The initiative guarantees proof-of-reserve system with comprehensive audits to ensure complete accountability to the public. They’re even implementing a proof-of-reserve system. Novel concept: accountability in government.
The economic strategy behind this digital treasure chest? Diversification of national assets and hedging against uncertainty. Bitcoin would complement existing gold reserves and potentially strengthen the dollar’s position. Unlike executive orders that can be easily reversed, this legislation would create permanent protection for Bitcoin as a strategic US asset. Uncle Sam wants to maintain financial leadership in the digital era.
The House already repealed the IRS broker rule with a 292-131 vote. Bitcoin isn’t just coming to Washington—it’s already moved in and unpacked its bags.
