U.S. Senate proposes mandatory Bitcoin reserve acquisition

The U.S. Senate is considering the BITCOIN Act 2025, introduced by Senator Cynthia Lummis. If passed, it would require the government to buy 200,000 Bitcoin each year for five years, totaling 1 million Bitcoin. This bill builds on a previous executive order by Donald Trump, which allowed Bitcoin accumulation. Lummis' proposal makes this acquisition mandatory, establishing a fixed purchase mechanism. The initiative has bipartisan support and could significantly impact the Bitcoin market. It raises questions about storage, security, and the management of these assets, as well as their role in U.S. financial policy.
