US Lawmakers and Crypto Executives to Debate Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Plan
Michael Saylor – Washington, D.C. is gearing up for a high-profile meeting between US lawmakers and 18 crypto industry executives this Tuesday, with the future of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve front and center.
Top Industry Names at the Table
The roundtable, organized by The Digital Chambers and its affiliate The Digital Power Network, will feature some of the most influential figures in the crypto space. Notable attendees include Michael Saylor, chairman of Strategy; Tom Lee, CEO of Fundstrat and chairman of BitMine; and Fred Thiel, CEO of Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA).
Joining them will be executives from Bitcoin mining companies like CleanSpark, MARA, and Bitdeer, as well as representatives from venture capital firms Off the Chain Capital and Reserve One. Traditional finance won’t be left out either, with Western Alliance Bank and Blue Square Wealth sending executives to the session.
Pushing the BITCOIN Act Forward
The key focus of the discussion will be the BITCOIN Act, introduced by Senator Cynthia Lummis in March. The proposal calls for the US government to acquire 1 million Bitcoin (BTC) over the next five years, with purchases financed through budget-neutral strategies rather than taxpayer funds.
Potential approaches already on the table include reassessing the Treasury’s gold certificates and leveraging tariff revenues. Lawmakers and executives will also address why progress on the Act has stalled over the past six months and explore ways to overcome political resistance.
A New Era of Crypto Policy?
If advanced, the BITCOIN Act could mark a landmark moment for US crypto legislation, following the recent GENIUS Act on stablecoins passed in July. For industry leaders, the roundtable offers a chance to pitch ideas and strengthen the coalition needed to make the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve a reality.
