Trump's Biggest Boon to Crypto Would Be Passing the Bitcoin Act: CoinShares
Donald Trump's administration is expected to create a favorable environment for cryptocurrencies, with the potential adoption of the Bitcoin Act. This proposal aims to designate bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, allowing the U.S. government to acquire up to 5% of bitcoin's total supply, similar to gold. U.S. Sen. Cynthia Lummis introduced legislation to establish a strategic bitcoin reserve, intending to purchase 1 million BTC over five years to help reduce national debt. Trump's commitment to a bitcoin reserve was reiterated by Lummis after his election victory. If enacted, the Bitcoin Act could stimulate institutional and governmental interest in bitcoin, potentially increasing its value. Trump's administration may also lead to new SEC leadership, fostering a more crypto-friendly regulatory environment. Changes at the SEC could benefit the cryptocurrency industry, particularly companies like Coinbase and Galaxy Digital.
