U.S. House committee to consider strategic bitcoin reserve bill H.R. 8957
- —H.R. 8957 establishes a federal Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and rules for managing it
- —BTC transferred to the reserve must be held for at least 20 years
- —Treasury is not required to buy bitcoin immediately — priority is consolidating existing assets
- —The initiative is separate from the CLARITY Act, which failed in the Senate 49–50
Why it matters: Enshrining the reserve for 20 years reduces the risk of government selling pressure and sets a separate track for U.S. crypto policy.
