U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve bill to be heard in committee Sept. 16
- —The House Financial Services Committee will consider H.R. 8957 on Sept. 16, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time
- —The BTC reserve will be managed by the Treasury separately from the reserve for other digital assets
- —BTC confiscated by authorities will go into the reserve, and proceeds from other assets will fund BTC purchases or debt repayment
- —The Treasury and Commerce Departments will study BTC purchase strategies over 5 years under budget neutrality
Why it matters: The first advance of a BTC government reserve bill in Congress could legitimize state demand for Bitcoin and set a benchmark for other countries.
