Golden Finance reports that Ledn co-founder Mauricio di Bartolomeo stated that the possibility of the United States establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve has increased after a state in the U.S. proposed a strategic Bitcoin reserve bill. Last week, shortly after the (Pennsylvania Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Bill) was introduced, the price of Bitcoin saw an increase. The bill aims to allow the state to invest 10% of certain funds, including general funds, rainy day funds, and state investment funds, into Bitcoin. According to the state's 2023 Treasury Annual Investment Report, these funds manage approximately $51 billion in assets, so a 10% allocation would represent about $5.1 billion in Bitcoin investment. Previously, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis proposed the (Bitcoin Bill), which suggested that the U.S. create a Bitcoin strategic reserve, requiring the purchase of up to 200,000 Bitcoins annually over five years. If these bills are passed into law, it could initially lead to the acquisition of Bitcoin valued at $23.3 billion on the open market. Approval of either of the aforementioned bills would have a significant impact on other sovereign investment portfolios, triggering discussions about Bitcoin allocation among the world's largest asset management firms. In the coming months, the U.S. strategic reserve may be at the center of most Bitcoin-related topics.
