Senator Lummis Proposes Strategic Bitcoin Reserve to Address $36 Trillion Debt

Senator Cynthia Lummis has proposed a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve aimed at addressing the US national debt of $36 trillion and enhancing the dollar's global standing.

Lummis argues that Bitcoin's value growth could significantly reduce national debt over 20 years.
She suggests the reserve would rectify past financial errors and alleviate economic pressures on younger Americans.
A Bitcoin reserve might potentially halve the national debt, with historical growth rates of about 55% expected to decline over time.
Referencing Robert F. Kennedy Jr., she believes a substantial reserve could eliminate the national debt entirely.
Last July, she introduced the BITCOIN Act, proposing government acquisition of 1 million Bitcoin.
As chair of the Senate Banking Subcommittee on Digital Assets, she is influential in crypto policy.
Support for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is increasing at the state level, with 15 states backing the initiative and 11 introducing related bills.
Public advocacy is growing, with over 3,300 letters sent to Congress members urging recognition of Bitcoin as a strategic asset.
Lummis is optimistic that this reserve could restore financial stability and maintain the dollar’s dominance.
