ARMA bill revives US strategic Bitcoin reserve plan, targets 1 million BTC in 5 years

US lawmakers introduced a bipartisan ARMA bill on Thursday to formalize a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a separate digital asset stockpile under the US Treasury. The proposal would aim to acquire up to 1 million Bitcoin over five years via budget-neutral strategies and would require BTC to be held for at least 20 years unless sold to reduce the national debt, which topped $39 trillion on Wednesday.
