Donald Trump advocates for holding onto the existing 198,000 BTC, worth more than 19 billion USD, seized from illicit activities. He suggests retaining BTC could serve as a strategic national asset without incurring additional costs, positioning the US advantageously in global finance.
Senator Lummis proposes the ambitious acquisition of 1 million BTC for approximately 100 billion USD. Her plan involves revaluing US gold reserves from 42 USD per ounce to market prices, enabling capital issuance for BTC purchase. This approach aims to bolster the financial system and potentially reduce national debt.
