👀 US Crypto Reserve Bill Passes House Committee 🔹 On September 16, 2026, the US House Financial Services Committee approved the American Reserve Modernization Act of 2026 (H.R. 8957), aimed at codifying US President Donald Trump’s policy to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve into law. The measure passed in a 28–21 vote. 🔹 The bill provides for the creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a separate Digital Asset Stockpile under the US Department of the Treasury. It will house Bitcoin and other digital assets acquired by the federal government through criminal or civil forfeitures. 🔹 Under the legislation, Bitcoin held in the federal reserve must be retained for at least 20 years, turning the cryptocurrency into a permanent fixture of the federal government's reserve balance sheet.
