A Bitcoin bill is gaining popularity in the US, potentially leading to a significant increase in the value of Bitcoin – possibly even to $1 million. The win for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election is raising hopes for more cryptocurrency-friendly policies in the country.
One of the most exciting bills being talked about is the Bitcoin Act. This has been proposed by Senator Cynthia Lummis, a Republican from Wyoming. This act would see the creation of a Bitcoin reserve for the US. If it gets passed, the US would be the first nation to use it as a sort of “savings account.”
The idea of this Bitcoin reserve is being well-received, in large part due to Trump’s win and the incoming Republican-majority Senate. Anastasija Plotnikova, CEO of Fideum, believes that cross-party support could mean this bill gets accepted within the next four years.
Bitcoin could see its value jump to over $1 million because of this bill, according to Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream. This comes from the potential of the world’s largest economy opening a Bitcoin reserve, which could lead to a skyrocketing Bitcoin price.
Right now, Bitcoin’s price is just shy of the $100,000 landmark, and the proposed bill could lead to a huge shift in the world of economics. It could bring in more institutional investors, including pension and sovereign wealth funds, further legitimizing Bitcoin as a viable asset. The proposal also aligns with Trump’s vision of making the US a global leader in crypto innovation.
Several politicians, including Representative Ro Khanna from the Democratic Party, have thrown their support behind the bill.
Others are also expressing their optimism about the future of cryptocurrency during Trump’s presidency, including Michael Saylor from MicroStrategy. He believes that positive implications could include a strategic Bitcoin reserve, continued institutional adoption, and the end of the “war on crypto.”
Saylor also expects that Bitcoin will reach other significant milestones in the institutional area, such as the creation of options on Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), permission for traditional banks to offer Bitcoin services, and Bitcoin being accepted as collateral.
