Bitcoin Billionaires & Politicians Unite in Washington: A Tale of Digital Gold, Greed, and Slightly Used Bitcoins! 💼💰

by

Lo and behold, Washington shall witness a grandiose spectacle on Tuesday, where crypto barons and policymakers shall gather like moths to a flame, hosted by the illustrious Senator Lummis and Representative Begich. What is this flame? A national Bitcoin strategy, of course! Or as one might call it, a modern-day alchemy convention with slightly more Wi-Fi and slightly less mercury.

Behold the cast: Michael Saylor, the digital oracle of MicroStrategy; Fred Thiel, the Marathon Digital maestro; and Charles Hoskinson, the blockchain bard. Together, they shall pontificate on Bitcoin’s role in the U.S. economy, all while politicians nod sagely, as if they comprehend the arcane language of “blockchain” and “decentralized finance.” The BITCOIN Act-Boosting Innovation, Technology, and Competitiveness through Optimized Investment Nationwide-shall be their holy grail, though one suspects the acronym was chosen for its catchy ring, not its clarity.

Senator Lummis, ever the visionary, has proposed a national Bitcoin reserve: acquire one million bitcoins over five years via “budget-neutral measures.” A noble goal! Imagine the U.S. Treasury, once a mere guardian of gold, now a curator of digital glitter. If passed, Bitcoin shall join gold in the pantheon of national treasures, a legacy that would make the ghost of Trump’s policies proud. One wonders if the coins will be stored in Fort Knox or a password-protected USB drive hidden in a senator’s sock drawer.

The bill now languishes in the House Financial Services Committee and Senate Banking Committee, where it shall be debated by lawmakers who may or may not have ever owned a cryptocurrency. Meanwhile, the U.S. legislature, in a summer of regulatory fervor, passed a stablecoin law-a mere appetizer to the main course of crypto chaos. Hailey Miller of the Digital Power Network (DPN) implores all to prioritize this “strategic reserve,” as if Bitcoin were a military asset and not a digital currency prone to crashing like a toddler’s temper tantrum.

Advancing the BITCOIN Act Amidst a State-Sponsored Crypto Arms Race 🚀

The roundtable shall attempt to rally bipartisan support for the BITCOIN Act, though Republicans currently hold the reins like a toddler with a goldfish. Attendees include crypto luminaries such as Haris Basit of Bitdeer, Brian Morgenstern of Riot, and Matt Schultz of Cleanspark-men who shall speak in tongues of hashing power and mining rigs, while DPN distributes a one-page brief that likely contains more buzzwords than a TED Talk.

This initiative, born of the U.S.’s newfound love for crypto regulation, shall unite “key players” in a quest to advance the bill. One might say it’s a tale of two parties: one clutching Bitcoin like a talisman, the other still wondering if it’s a currency, a commodity, or a particularly aggressive meme.

Meanwhile, Arizona, ever the trailblazer, passed its Bitcoin Reserve Bill on May 8, 2025, followed by Texas on May 22, 2025. The Treasury Secretary, Bessent, hinted at expanding America’s Bitcoin hoard on August 15, 2025, as if the nation were preparing for a digital apocalypse. One wonders if they’ll need a Bitcoin ATM in every town or if they’ll just print T-shirts with QR codes.
