A bipartisan bill, the ARMA (American Reserve Modernization Act), has officially been introduced in the U.S. Congress to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve. This will require the Treasury to accumulate 1 million BTC over the next 5 years and lock them away in a solid 20-year HODL. The kicker is that Trump had already initiated a reserve with his executive order, but this law will permanently establish BTC as 'digital gold' at the federal level. The stash will be funded without straining the budget—exclusively through confiscated assets (including fresh $500 million Iranian crypto assets, Silk Road proceeds, and the Bitfinex hack).
In the long term, institutional recognition of 5% of the global Bitcoin supply by Washington will trigger an inevitable global race for sovereign reserves among central banks in other countries.
