Bitcoin is ‘the right asset’ to combat the US deficit: Sen. Lummis

post-img

With President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House quickly approaching, investors weigh the prospect of a strategic bitcoin (BTC-USD) reserve. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), who introduced the bipartisan Lummis-Gillibrand Responsible Financial Innovation Act focused on regulating crypto, joins Catalysts Co-Hosts Seana Smith and Madison Mills to talk about her stance on the Federal Reserve holding bitcoin.

“I want our federal government to have a strategic bitcoin reserve that can help back the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency and then serve as a long-term savings account, thereby offsetting our national debt, which is over $36 trillion now,” Lummis tells Yahoo Finance.

The republican senator says, “My proposal would have the US purchase, through other assets that already owns, 200,000 bitcoin a year for five years, for a total of a million, hold it for at least 20 years, and at the numbers that we project, that would accrue a fund that’s worth about $16 trillion.”
