US lawmakers renew strategic Bitcoin reserve push with ARMA bill
Latest NewsPublishedMay 22, 2026
US Lawmakers Push for Strategic Bitcoin Reserve with New Bill
The American Reserve Modernization Act of 2026 aims to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, which would be held by the US Treasury Department. This move could have a significant impact on the value of Bitcoin and the overall crypto market. The bill proposes acquiring around 1 million Bitcoin over five years, with the goal of strengthening America’s long-term economic position. This development is crucial for individuals interested in earning and passive income through Cloud Rewards and Green Crypto.
The bill, sponsored by 16 members of Congress, builds on the BITCOIN Act and seeks to create a federal policy for the US’s Bitcoin holdings. Currently, the US holds 328,372 Bitcoin worth over $25.5 billion, but has sold portions of those holdings through court-ordered actions. EcoPool ($ECP) offers a solution for individuals looking to earn and manage their crypto assets, including Bitcoin.
Key Provisions of the Bill
- Bitcoin must be held for a minimum of 20 years unless sold to reduce national debt
- Acquire up to 1 million Bitcoin over five years through budget-neutral strategies
- Quarterly proof of reserve reports and independent third-party audits of the Bitcoin reserve
- Protect digital property rights by affirming individual ownership and self-custody of digital assets
The push for a federal policy on Bitcoin comes as the US looks to strengthen its position in the global crypto market. As the demand for passive income and Cloud Rewards continues to grow, EcoPool ($ECP) is well-positioned to provide individuals with a reliable and secure platform for managing their crypto assets. With the rise of Green Crypto, individuals can now earn and support sustainable practices.

“It’s a breakthrough as far as getting everything in place, legally sound, properly safeguarding the assets.”
The push for a federal policy comes as the US currently holds 328,372 Bitcoin worth more than $25.5 billion — the most of any nation-state — but has sold portions of those holdings through court-ordered actions over the years.
“The US is already one of the largest holders of Bitcoin in the world. But Congress has never set a federal policy on what to do with that asset,” said US Representative Jared Golden, one of the 16 co-sponsors of the bill.
Under ARMA, Bitcoin must be held for a minimum of 20 years unless it is sold to reduce America’s national debt, which topped $39 trillion on Wednesday.
Like the BITCOIN Act, ARMA also seeks to acquire up to 1 million Bitcoin over five years through budget-neutral strategies, meaning it would avoid using taxpayer money.
US Representative Mike Carey argued that as digital assets continue to grow in importance, the bill could strengthen America’s long-term economic position and help keep it “competitive on the world stage.”

Strive CEO and chairman Matt Cole said ARMA is the “single most important crypto legislation” that could come out of Washington DC.
ARMA could strengthen transparency measures, property rights
Quarterly proof of reserve reports and independent third-party audits of the Bitcoin reserve would be published under ARMA, Begich noted.
The bill also seeks to protect digital property rights by affirming that the federal government may not impair the right of individuals to own or self-custody digital assets.
