- Senator Cynthia Lummis confirmed Trump supports the Bitcoin Act, which proposes buying 1 million BTC over five years.
- She said Bitcoin is now seen as a strategic asset, just as vital as military strength.
- The bill is expected to be introduced in Congress next week, signaling a pro-crypto shift from the Trump administration.
At the Bitcoin 2025 event in Las Vegas on the 27th, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis made a headline-grabbing statement: President Trump is backing the Bitcoin Act. Yep, the bill that proposes the U.S. government buy up 1 million BTC over five years is apparently getting full support from the Oval Office.
Speaking to the crowd, Lummis said, “Economic power is just as important as military power,” emphasizing that Bitcoin is being looked at as more than just a speculative asset—it’s now being talked about in national strategy terms. According to her, the bill could be officially introduced in Congress as early as next week.
A Pro-Bitcoin Turn from the White House?
The Bitcoin Act, which Lummis is leading, lays out a plan for the U.S. to gradually accumulate a massive BTC stash—roughly 200,000 Bitcoin a year. The goal? To establish a strategic digital reserve that puts the U.S. at the forefront of sovereign crypto adoption.
Her remarks are adding fuel to the growing belief that the Trump administration is actively shaping a pro-crypto agenda. With recent moves like dialing back SEC enforcement and proposing a federal crypto reserve, the dots are connecting fast.
While nothing’s passed yet, if this momentum keeps up, the U.S. could soon be the biggest state-level Bitcoin holder out there—and that’s a big shift from just a few years ago.
