As CNF highlighted a few days ago, the United States national debt reached an all-time high of $35 trillion, prompting concerns about the country’s economic stability. In the report, we specifically discussed that Senator Lummis proposes the US to buy 1,000,000 Bitcoins to reduce national debt.

Senator Cynthia Lummis’ response was to propose the adoption of a strategic Bitcoin reserve to back the US dollar, aiming to protect its status as a world currency and strengthen the American economy by incorporating Bitcoin as a financial asset. In a tweet, Blockchain researcher, Collin Brown highlighted the unveiling of the historic Bitcoin Reserve legislation by U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis, suggesting it could be a game-changer for cryptocurrencies like XRP, BTC, and the broader crypto market.

Brown also emphasized that this legislation has the potential to significantly impact the future of digital assets in the United States.

Furthermore, according to insights shared in today’s CNF YouTube video, if passed, this legislation will help safeguard against massive sell-offs while increasing the country’s Bitcoin holdings, marking a pivotal shift in U.S. financial strategy. This bill follows Senator Lummis’ earlier proposal at the Bitcoin Conference, highlighting Bitcoin’s potential as a “savings technology” that could position the U.S. as a leader in financial innovation.

It is also worth noting that the bill has received backing from key political figures, including presidential candidates Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who believe it could bring economic stability. Experts like Steven McClurg of CoinShares stress the importance of addressing the U.S. deficit and controlling spending before adopting a Bitcoin reserve strategy.

This legislative proposal, officially introduced as the “Boosting Innovation, Technology and Competitiveness through Optimized Investment Nationwide” (BITCOIN) Act, follows Lummis’ earlier discussions at the Bitcoin Conference. She expressed her vision by stating,

Bitcoin is transforming not only our country but the world, and becoming the first developed nation to use Bitcoin as a savings technology secures our position as a global leader in financial innovation. This is our Louisiana Purchase moment that will help us reach the next financial frontier.

As of today, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading with a decrease of 2.81% in the past day and surged by 0.24% in the past week, reaching a price of $64,456.69. See BTC price chart below.
