According to Foresight News, Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital, recently expressed confidence that a plan for the government to purchase 500,000 bitcoins will pass in the U.S. Senate. Scaramucci stated, "They have the votes. Hagerty wants it. McCormack wants it too. I do believe so, yes." Although Senator Lummis previously proposed a strategic reserve bill to acquire 1 million bitcoins, Scaramucci anticipates the final plan will involve increasing the current holdings of approximately 200,000 bitcoins by an additional 400,000 to 500,000.
