Senator Cynthia Lummis believes her proposal to create a national Bitcoin reserve has a good chance of passing. The bill, introduced in July, could make the U.S. a leader in the Bitcoin market. With growing bipartisan support and Donald Trump’s backing, Lummis feels confident that the bill will pass within the first 100 days of Trump’s second term. Could the U.S. soon become the largest government Bitcoin holder?

Senator Lummis wants to use funds from the Federal Reserve and Treasury Department to buy one million bitcoins. If successful, the U.S. would own around 5% of the total Bitcoin supply. This would mirror the country’s position in global gold reserves.
The proposal also calls for a Bitcoin reserve with secure vaults managed by the Treasury Department. These vaults would protect Bitcoin ownership and ensure the asset stays safe. The bill has faced some delays in the Senate, but Lummis remains hopeful.
She believes bipartisan support, combined with public backing, could push the bill forward. Trump’s support for Bitcoin also strengthens her optimism. David Bailey, a supporter of Trump’s Bitcoin policies, has stressed that a national Bitcoin reserve should be a priority during Trump’s first 100 days in office.
Broad Support Across Political Lines
The Bitcoin reserve bill has garnered support from both Republicans and Democrats. Democratic Representative Ro Khanna recently voiced his backing, seeing Bitcoin as an opportunity for the Federal Reserve to improve U.S. financial systems.
Matthew Sigel, Head of Digital Assets Research at VanEck, agrees. He believes a national Bitcoin reserve could strengthen U.S. influence in energy, AI, and decentralized finance.Sigel also mentioned that the U.S. could repurpose more than 200,000 BTC while mining additional coins through public-private partnerships.
The success of this Bill could lead to new opportunities for frontier cities, all without significant risk. As the bill continues to gain momentum, advocates remain hopeful that the U.S. will embrace Bitcoin as a cornerstone of the nation’s financial future.
