Senator Cynthia Lummis is advocating for the BITCOIN Act, which proposes requiring the U.S. Treasury to acquire up to 1 million BTC within 5 years and hold it for at least 20 years. Currently, there is no official confirmation of any purchases. On June 16, Cynthia Lummis stated that her model calculations suggest such holdings could reduce U.S. national debt by one-third to one-half, and she expects the Treasury to begin acquiring Bitcoin by the end of 2026.
