🔈🔈 U.S. HOUSE COMMITTEE ADVANCES TRUMP’S STRATEGIC BITCOIN RESERVE BILL 💥 The U.S. House Financial Services Committee has advanced the American Reserve Modernization Act of 2026 (H.R. 8957), taking a major legislative step toward putting Donald Trump’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve into federal law. 💎 Key Developments: ✔️ 28–21 committee vote — The bill was reported favorably by the House Financial Services Committee on September 16, moving it toward consideration by the full House. ✔️ 20-year BTC holding period — Bitcoin placed into the proposed Strategic Bitcoin Reserve would be subject to a minimum 20-year holding period, restricting its sale, exchange or disposal during that period. ✔️ Treasury to manage the reserve — The bill would establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a separate Digital Asset Stockpile under the U.S. Treasury for other federally held digital assets. ✔️ Federal crypto holdings to be consolidated — Federal agencies would be required to account for the digital assets under their control, with the legislation establishing a centralized framework for custody and reporting. ✔️ No direct Bitcoin-buying mandate — The amended version does not authorize a large taxpayer-funded BTC purchase program. Instead, Treasury and Commerce would study potential budget-neutral ways to acquire additional Bitcoin. 🔴 Important: H.R. 8957 has not become law yet. It still needs to pass the full House, clear the Senate and receive presidential approval. 📌 If enacted, the legislation would give the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve a statutory foundation rather than relying solely on an executive order.
