Okay if this is true it eclipse what we have been hearing or reading about.

According to the link above
The US would be announcing their strategic reserve plan
With Bill already signed by Trump.

If the BITCOIN Act passes, the Treasury’s first open-market Bitcoin purchase is projected for Q4 2026 — making the U.S. the first sovereign nation to actively accumulate Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset.

If this is true
Then it changes a lot of things
I just hope we not selling long term gains for short term but it's a good news nonetheless.

Nick Begich's new Bitcoin Strategic Reserves bill is a great piece of news that is easier to pass and more likely to be implemented quickly due to key congressional support. However, at this point, it is hoped that key congressional figures will support the bill, which is a positive.

I am quite concerned about that.
I got excited when they announced the Bitcoin Act, but I also got disappointed when nothing happened, at least in the short term.
Now, we have a rumour on such an important topic, and the market seems not to give a shit about this.
Market price impact would also be negligible, it's a week's worth of Strategy buying.
It’s the strategic implications that are the most significant.

Maybe Bitcoin deep liquidity is the main reason on why we don't see those short term changes. That's why those noises they created didn't move the price of Bitcoin.

But I think short term movement is not important at this point, since what good to look at those actions made by US is they are trying to create good policies to adopt Bitcoin. If they succeed to implement that then somehow maybe we can expect some good long term results not only with the price, but as well on growing adoption. So with that its understandable that no changes happen, because maybe big effects will be seen in future.

The reasoning is much simpler in my opinion. The market is quite sceptical of the promises of this administration. Before getting exposure to bitcoin, even more in this geopolitical context, based on a politician's declaration, they want to be sure of the action, waiting for some official action.

JUST IN: Already 9 congressmen have announced support for Congressman Nick Begich's new Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill 🇺🇸

Nick Begich's new Bitcoin Strategic Reserves bill is a great piece of news that is easier to pass and more likely to be implemented quickly due to key congressional support. However, at this point, it is hoped that key congressional figures will support the bill, which is a positive.

let's take a closer look at this bill:

"American Reserve Modernization Act of 2026" (ARMA) aims to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and separate Digital Asset Stockpile for non-bitcoin assets held by the federal government and managed by the Treasury. - so they will hold some altcoins and it's not a good idea for US reserve.

ARMA would require all BTC deposited into the reserve to sit there for a minimum of 20 years, barring the government from selling, swapping, auctioning, encumbering, or otherwise disposing of the assets for any reason. After the lockup period expires, the Treasury secretary could then recommend selling up to 10% of the reserve's assets in any two-year period. - as for me it's really good move because we can see clear terms and for long-term investors it's important to understand the government's intentions.

Unlike earlier BITCOIN Act proposals that discussed acquiring up to 1 million bitcoin over five years, the ARMA draft gives no exact target and instead directs Treasury and Commerce to study whether additional acquisitions could be carried out through "budget-neutral" mechanisms. The bill lists potential acquisition methods, like converting non-bitcoin assets, gold certificate revaluations, forfeiture proceedings, tariff revenues, and partnerships with states. - as expected, there's no money to buy 1 million BTC, so we're going back to the old method of storing seized assets. perhaps they will be able to swap altcoins for bitcoin but again the question is at what rate and when this will be done.

ARMA would also establish quarterly public proof-of-reserve reports, independent audits, and other congressional oversight to keep things transparent. - this is an obvious point for storing digital assets, although the question remains who and how will store these funds.

To be honest, high taxes discourage many people, so this step by South Korea has become really attractive. Now the people of South Korea will be more interested in investing in crypto or Bitcoin. The prevailing legal system of their country was so difficult before that even if most people were interested in investing in crypto, they would not dare to invest because of the taxes. But now it is expected that many people will be interested in investing in Bitcoin.

🏛️ Updates on U.S. House Bill 8957 (American Reserve Modernization Act)

Official Title as Introduced
To establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and other programs to ensure the transparent management of Bitcoin holdings of the Federal Government, to offset costs utilizing certain resources of the Federal Reserve System, and for other purposes.

After being officially introduced as a bipartisan bill, H.R. 8957 is progressing very well, gaining support from 17 to 18 other members of the US House of Representatives who immediately signed the bill as the first wave of supporters. The bill has now passed its first administrative hurdle in the House and has been assigned to the House Committee on Financial Services. Now, the bill is several steps away from a final vote on the House floor before being sent to the Senate.

✅ Ensure the transparent management of Bitcoin holdings of the Federal Government
✅ Requiring all Bitcoin placed in a strategic reserve to be held and not sold for a minimum of 20 years.
✅ Consolidating and securing the federal government's Bitcoin holdings into a single official reserve structure.
✅ Designed to reduce the burden on the federal budget.
