US President Donald Trump supports the BITCOIN Act and has a team of experts in the White House working to roll out landmark digital asset legislation
May 28, 2025 at 05:43 am
Speaking at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, Lummis said she is bringing the BITCOIN ACT to the “attention of the American people and the world,” adding that, “President Trump supports the bill.”
U.S. President Donald Trump supports the BITCOIN ACT and has a team of experts in the White House working to roll out landmark digital asset legislation in the coming weeks, according to Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis.
Speaking at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, Lummis said she is bringing the BITCOIN ACT to “the attention of the American people and the world,” adding that, “President Trump supports the bill.”
In March, Lummis, R-Wyo., reintroduced the BITCOIN ACT — legislation that directs the US government to acquire 1 million Bitcoin (BTC) over five years. The acquisitions would be financed using existing funds within the Federal Reserve System and the Treasury Department.
As Cointelegraph reported, the Trump administration has been keen to use “budget-neutral ways” to acquire Bitcoin without placing a burden on taxpayers.
At the Bitcoin Conference, Lummis said the Trump administration has a team working on “digital asset issues,” including legislation on stablecoins, market structure and the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve.
“They will probably roll out in that order,” she said.
“The Senate Banking Committee has passed the stablecoin bill out of committee,” said Lummis, adding:
The White House seems to be in alignment with Senator Lummis.
Last week, Trump’s top crypto adviser, David Sacks, said the GENIUS stablecoin bill is “going to pass” the Senate with bipartisan support after clearing a key procedural vote on May 19.
GENIUS refers to the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act, possibly the most comprehensive federal push to establish a legal framework for dollar-pegged stablecoins.
Stablecoins have become one of the most prominent use cases for blockchain technology, with some industry advocates arguing that they could help extend the US dollar’s dominance as the global reserve currency.
Collateralized, dollar-backed stablecoins like Tether’s USDt (USDT) and Circle’s USDC (USDC) account for more than 85% of the $250 billion market, according to CoinMarketCap.
