Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) has proposed a bold solution to America's ballooning national debt—Bitcoin.
In a video message posted Friday on X, Lummis highlighted how BTC could play a pivotal role in stabilizing the U.S. economy.
“I’m particularly pleased with President Trump’s support of my Strategic Bitcoin Reserve initiative, which will address our national debt while securing America’s position as the global leader in financial innovation,” Lummis stated.
The message follows the formal introduction of the BTC Act, short for “Bitcoin Initiative to Create Transparency, Opportunity, Innovation, and National Security,” which Lummis and Congressman Nick Begich (R-AK) co-sponsored in March during the BTC for America Summit.
The proposed legislation seeks to establish a federal Bitcoin reserve, effectively positioning the world’s leading cryptocurrency as a core component of the U.S. financial strategy. Backers argue that doing so would not only offer a hedge against inflation and geopolitical risk but also cement the United States’ leadership in the rapidly evolving digital asset economy.
Trump Backs Strategic Bitcoin Reserve for US Leadership
At the heart of the initiative is the creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, similar to the country’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve. While critics see the move as unorthodox, proponents maintain that Bitcoin’s decentralized and finite nature makes it a perfect fit for long-term fiscal stability and financial sovereignty.
“As Bitcoin comes into usage more and more, its use makes the whole system more secure, more robust, and more capable of serving our needs all over the world,” Lummis remarked. “We should be the global leader with this fantastic, new ledger-based asset that is in a digital format.”
Lummis, a known Bitcoin supporter, believes that broader BTC adoption would be “transformative” for workers globally, granting individuals greater autonomy over their money in contrast to centralized financial systems vulnerable to inflation and mismanagement.
In a display of political alignment, former President Donald Trump has voiced his support for the Strategic BTC Reserve initiative.
March saw Trump issue an executive order directing federal agencies to begin planning for a national BTC reserve and to broadly engage with digital asset infrastructure. On the campaign trail, he has repeatedly pledged to make the United States the “crypto capital of the world.”
“I am very positive and open-minded to cryptocurrency companies and all things related to this new and burgeoning industry,” Trump stated at a recent rally. “Our country must be the leader in the field.”
Bitcoin Act Could Reshape US Fiscal Strategy
The initiative arrives amid renewed optimism in crypto markets. As of Friday afternoon, BTC was trading just shy of $97,000, continuing a steady climb driven by institutional interest and rising public support for pro-crypto policy.
Analysts suggest that the combination of political endorsement, regulatory clarity, and legislative ambition could provide the kind of long-term tailwinds the crypto industry has long sought in the United States.
While the proposal is likely to face skepticism and generate heated debate in Congress, its introduction marks a significant milestone: BTC is no longer merely a financial asset or ideological symbol; it is now being envisioned as a cornerstone of national economic strategy.
If passed, the BTC Act could fundamentally alter the way the U.S. manages fiscal risk and engages with emerging technologies.
As America reckons with the consequences of decades of deficit spending, Lummis and her allies are making a bold bet that BTC is not just the future of money but might also be the lifeline the nation needs.
