US Sen. Lummis Hints at Potential US Bitcoin Purchase Strategy

US Senator Cynthia Lummis has sparked speculation about the US increasing its Bitcoin holdings. She posted an image on X featuring a Bitcoin-themed children's book cover with the caption “₿ig things coming for Franklin!”

Lummis and Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Speculation

  • The image shows Franklin, a cartoon turtle, engaged with Bitcoin software, symbolizing Bitcoin management or purchase.
  • The imagery suggests saving and accumulating Bitcoin over time as a path to financial freedom.
  • Bitcoin-focused accounts view the post as a potential policy signal of government interest in Bitcoin acquisition.
  • Lummis has previously supported the idea of a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve to offset national debt.
  • Her legislation proposes the government could hold up to 1 million BTC.
  • President Trump’s executive order established a framework for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve earlier this year.
  • No official confirmation exists regarding state-level Bitcoin purchases, but the developments imply potential future actions.

Currently, there is no formal announcement of US Bitcoin acquisitions, but Lummis’ post is seen as a significant hint toward possible future purchases. At press time, Bitcoin is trading at $93,381.
