This idea, supported by Senator Cynthia Lummis, has raised both interest and skepticism, with Lummis outlining a plan for the U.S. government to accumulate 1 million BTC<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>over the next five years. The aim would be to strategically hold these assets for 20 years, hoping to leverage Bitcoin\u2019s potential growth to reduce the debt burden for future generations.<\/p>\n

Lummis\u2019 bill, which has sparked debate, posits that a portion of Bitcoin\u2019s gains could go toward paying down government debt. She envisions a future where Americans are free from debt they never incurred or benefited from. The strategy focuses not on immediate debt repayment but on long-term growth, with the Bitcoin reserve serving as a store of value.<\/p>\n

Analysts like Matthew Sigel from VanEck have explored this idea, hypothesizing that the U.S. Treasury could invest in Bitcoin at current prices, expecting significant appreciation over time. According to Sigel\u2019s calculations, this reserve could potentially cover as much as 36% of the national debt by 2050.<\/p>\n
