Overview
The BITCOIN Act of 2025 (Boosting Innovation, Technology, and Competitiveness through Optimized Investment Nationwide Act) is U.S. legislation introduced by Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) as S.954 in the 119th Congress, with a companion House bill introduced by Representative Nick Begich. It would direct the Treasury to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve held in a decentralized network of secure facilities, and to purchase up to 200,000 BTC per year for five years, reaching one million bitcoin. Purchases would be funded from Federal Reserve remittances, gold certificates and existing Treasury assets rather than new taxpayer appropriations, and the holdings would be held for a minimum of 20 years. The bill's stated purpose is to put the reserve on a statutory footing so it cannot easily be reversed by a future administration.
