House Introduces Bill for Trump’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve

• Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) introduced a bill to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
• The bill differs from Sen. Cynthia Lummis’ proposal, which involves $80 billion in Bitcoin purchases.
• Donalds’ legislation does not specify a purchase amount and is only one page long.
• The proposed reserve would be funded by assets seized in criminal or civil proceedings.
• The U.S. government currently holds nearly 200,000 BTC from forfeitures.

Rep. Byron Donalds’ bill aims to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve without committing to specific purchase amounts, contrasting with Sen. Lummis’ $80 billion plan. The reserve would be funded by seized assets, aligning with existing holdings of approximately 200,000 BTC.
