- US lawmakers will meet 18 crypto executives, including Michael Saylor and Tom Lee, to discuss Trump’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
- The BITCOIN Act proposes the government buy one million BTC over five years, funded through budget-neutral strategies.
- Attendees include Bitcoin miners, VC firms, and TradFi bankers, all aiming to push the bill forward and address concerns in Congress.
On Tuesday, US lawmakers are set to sit down with 18 crypto industry executives, including MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor, to hash out the next steps for President Donald Trump’s proposed Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The roundtable will also feature big names like Fundstrat’s Tom Lee, MARA CEO Fred Thiel, and others representing mining firms, VC funds, and even traditional banks.
The discussion is being hosted by advocacy group The Digital Chambers and its affiliate The Digital Power Network, with the spotlight firmly on the BITCOIN Act — a bill introduced by Senator Cynthia Lummis earlier this year.
The BITCOIN Act: One Million BTC Over Five Years
The BITCOIN Act calls on the US government to acquire one million Bitcoin over a five-year span, which at today’s prices would mean well over $100 billion. Purchases would be financed through both the Federal Reserve and the Treasury, under Trump’s order that they must remain budget-neutral.
Ideas floated so far include reevaluating Treasury gold certificates or tapping tariff revenue — essentially, funding the reserve without hitting taxpayers directly. If passed, the legislation would mark the most aggressive pro-Bitcoin policy move ever by the US government.
What Bitcoin Executives Plan to Pitch
Industry executives are expected to push lawmakers on how to practically build the reserve without sparking political backlash. The goal, according to The Digital Chambers, is to show Congress that Bitcoin can be integrated into national reserves while staying fiscally neutral.
Executives will also press for answers on why momentum around the BITCOIN Act stalled over the past six months, and what objections are coming from within Congress. For them, understanding those roadblocks is key to keeping the bill alive.
Who Will Be in the Room: Miners, VCs, and TradFi
The guest list is a broad mix of crypto-native players and traditional finance reps. On the mining side, CleanSpark’s Matt Schultz and Margeaux Plaisted, MARA’s Jayson Browder, and Bitdeer’s Haris Basit will all attend.
Venture capital firms like Off the Chain Capital and Reserve One will be represented, alongside Andrew McCormick of eToro’s US arm. From TradFi, Western Alliance Bank’s David Fragale and Blue Square Wealth’s Jay Bluestine are expected to join the conversation — highlighting just how wide the coalition has become.
