Senator proposes replenishing Bitcoin reserves with gold: Here’s how it will work

Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis has proposed that the US government sell some of its gold reserves and use the proceeds to buy Bitcoin. She believes that creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve could strengthen the dollar's position as the world's reserve currency, reduce the country's debt burden, and provide high returns. Lummis has introduced the BITCOIN Act, which outlines a plan to buy 1 million BTC over five years and hold them for at least 20 years. The Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Fund would also include a decentralized storage network to protect assets and reduce risk. However, some experts doubt that a Bitcoin reserve would help the US overcome its $35 trillion debt crisis. Critics also note the cryptocurrency's price volatility and potential for illicit use. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency companies like Ripple, Kraken, and Circle are seeking a seat on President Donald Trump's promised crypto advisory board to participate in his plans to overhaul US policy.
