US Faces Pressure to Adopt Strategic Bitcoin Reserve as Czech Republic Moves Forward

As the Czech Republic prepares to introduce a national Bitcoin reserve, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis is calling for swift action to establish a similar reserve in the United States.

The senator, who chairs the Senate Banking Subcommittee on Digital Assets, has urged the U.S. to lead the way in adopting a Bitcoin reserve.

In a recent post on X, Lummis highlighted the urgency of the situation, urging the U.S. to be the first to embrace a Bitcoin reserve.

Lummis has been actively advocating for the U.S. to take decisive steps in this direction. In January, she wrote to the U.S. Marshals Service, requesting detailed information on the government’s Bitcoin holdings.

She also set a deadline for the agency to respond by January 31, seeking insights into how much Bitcoin the U.S. currently holds and urging a briefing on its digital asset strategy.

Lummis envisions a strategic Bitcoin reserve as a potential solution to the U.S. national debt, which she believes could be significantly reduced through Bitcoin’s growth.

Citing Bitcoin’s historical annual growth rate of 55%, Lummis predicts that even with a slowdown, Bitcoin could play a key role in alleviating financial burdens for future generations. She pointed to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s similar stance on using Bitcoin to tackle national debt.

While former President Donald Trump initially remained silent on cryptocurrencies after his inauguration, he later signed an executive order to establish a national digital asset stockpile, though it has yet to include a Bitcoin reserve.
