What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

President Donald Trump established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve through an executive order in March 2025. This reserve is currently being advanced through Congress via the American Reserve Modernization Act (ARMA). On September 16, the House Financial Services Committee voted 28-21 to move the ARMA forward. The reserve is intended to be a vault, not a retail purchasing mechanism.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The reserve currently holds an estimated 328,000 Bitcoin in U.S. government wallets, valued at approximately $27.6 billion at $84,000 per coin. If ARMA becomes law, it would require qualifying coins to be locked up for 20 years and subject to annual audited reports. The bill does not authorize the government to buy Bitcoin directly, though such purchases would require a 180-day study.
