US House Committee Advances Bill for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
- —Committee advanced the bill 28-21, largely along party lines
- —Section 5 bars any sale of reserve Bitcoin for at least 20 years from deposit
- —Section 9(d) prohibits borrowing, new taxes and deficit spending for BTC purchases
- —US holdings estimates range from about 198,000 BTC under the 2025 executive order to roughly 328,000 BTC
Why it matters: The bill removes government-held Bitcoin from potential supply for two decades but creates no new demand, making it a structural signal rather than a price catalyst.
