According to Foresight News, reported by Bitcoinist, SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci recently stated that he believes the government's plan to purchase 500,000 bitcoins will pass in the U.S. Senate. 'They have already got the votes. Hagerty wants it. McCormack hopes so too. I really think so, yes.' Although Senator Lummis previously proposed a strategic reserve bill to purchase 1 million bitcoins, Scaramucci believes the final plan may involve increasing from the existing approximately 200,000 bitcoins to 400,000 to 500,000.
