Lummis Confirms US Bitcoin Reserve Could Start Soon Amid Delays

• Senator Lummis confirms the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve may start soon, despite delays.
• Lummis supports Park’s idea of reinvesting $1 trillion paper gains into Bitcoin for future returns.
• Debate continues as Bitcoin Reserve awaits official launch, leaving many in the crypto sector uncertain.

Cynthia Lummis, the senator of the U.S and one of the firm advocates of the Bitcoin currency has attested that the panel to raise funds towards the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) may start off shortly. Nevertheless, she indicated that the delays in the legislative provision are delaying the actual delineation. Nonetheless, Lummis is still hopeful about improvement of the reserve.

Lummis stated that the legislative process is slow but that the situation had become better because of something that had been done previously by President Trump. She observed that the move concerning acquiring funds in the reserve could commence at any given time courtesy of Trump. The process though has been slow but there is still the momentum.

Bitcoin for U.S. Growth with Park’s Proposal to Reinvest $1 Trillion

Lummis made these remarks as a reaction to Jeff Park, the chief investment Officer of ProCap BTC. Park posted a video where there was a presentation of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve by bitcoin evangelist Anthony Pompliano. Park suggested that the government had the potential to re-invest its paper gains of 1 trillion with gold to BTC.

According to Park, since the U.S. government had a debt worth $37.88 trillions the use of the $1 trillion worth of paper gains was not so dangerous. He proposed that the re-investment into BTC of such gains would lead to large returns. Park described that with an assumption that Bitcoin will increase at the rate of 12 percent per year, it would be used to return 30 times in 30 years.

Lummis positively reacted to the argument by Park and termed it as an excellent explanation of why SBR and Bitcoin Act have to pass. She emphasized that the success of the reserve would be very advantageous to the nation since digital currency has a long-term prospect.

The mechanism of asking the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve capital is unknown, although government reports indicate that it will first be funded by Bitcoin forfeited by the Department of Treasury. Civil and criminal cases would provide this BTC and this would enable the government to accumulate the reserve at the expense of taxpayer money.

Another solution that is being considered by the government is to buy more Bitcoin by budget-neutral measures. These plans would incur no extra plans to the taxpayers and this would be more sustainable in the process. Nonetheless, it is not known how and when these acquisitions will be carried out.

SBR Delay Fuels Anticipation of Government BTC Buy

The SBR is yet to be formed, and seven months after President Trump signed an executive order, substantial action is not taken yet. This has concerned a lot of debate with a number in the cryptocurrency sector wanting more insight about how the reserve will operate and within which time line.

This is the common opinion of Anthony Pompliano, a prominent Bitcoin supporter, who thinks that the next tremendous event will be the government making formal buying declarations of Bitcoin. In a recent CNBC interview, Pompliano guessed that the most significant point will be when the government starts to purchase BTC. This announcement is awaited with ominous hope by many market watchers and could lead to a major change of perspectives of the American government towards BTC.

The future of Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is still unsatisfied as arguments are made on whether to keep it or not. Although the BTC potential of solving the fiscal issues has been gathered with excitement, it is not very clear what the U.S. government will really do. The fate of the reserve is subject to a lot of speculation until officially reported.
