Senator Cynthia Lummis has expressed her support for the United States purchasing Bitcoin as part of a geopolitical strategy. She believes that the ownership of Bitcoin by the US government could intimidate China and Russia and shift the arms race from weapons to digital asset dominance. Lummis suggests building a strategic Bitcoin reserve under Treasury Department and Federal Reserve oversight, with the goal of purchasing one million Bitcoins over the next five years. While this concept has generated controversy, some organizations that view Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and a devaluation of the dollar have embraced it. Additionally, US President Donald Trump has announced plans to establish a US Crypto Reserve, which will include Bitcoin and other major digital assets. The White House will also host the first White House Crypto Summit to address future US policies on digital assets. However, critics are concerned about the volatility and legal implications of including Bitcoin in a nation's reserves. The debate on Bitcoin's inclusion in US strategic policy is ongoing, and many are eagerly awaiting the outcome of the White House Crypto Summit.
