🚨 The U.S. House Financial Services Committee just voted 28–21 to pass the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill into law.
This isn't just executive optimism anymore—Congress is formally writing Bitcoin into America's core financial architecture.
Here is why the American Reserve Modernization Act (H.R. 8957) changes global finance forever:
For years, federal law enforcement seized tens of thousands of BTC in forfeitures and quietly dumped them in open auctions. This bill ends government supply dumps permanently. All seized Bitcoin moves straight into a secure Treasury reserve—never to hit the market again.
The mandate includes a strict 20-year lockup period. Once BTC enters the reserve, the Treasury is legally forbidden from selling, swapping, or encumbering it for two decades. The U.S. government is transforming from a seller into the ultimate long-term HODLer.
Non-Bitcoin digital assets will be routed to a separate stockpile. Under the bill, any liquidation of non-BTC crypto can only be used for two things: purchasing more Bitcoin or paying down the national debt.
The legislation establishes strict quarterly public Proof of Reserve reports audited by independent third parties. Every single coin held by the U.S. government will be cryptographically verified on-chain.
It also protects individual rights, explicitly guaranteeing that Americans retain full legal protection to own, trade, and self-custody their private keys.
With over 324,000 BTC currently under federal control, the United States is institutionalizing its position as a sovereign Bitcoin superpower.
The bill now heads to the full House floor and the global race for sovereign Bitcoin reserves is officially underway.
