Senator Cynthia Lummis said other nations are "accumulating Bitcoin quietly" and argued the United States should pursue the same strategy openly. "We should be doing it loudly, on the record, by law," she said, signaling support for a formal legal framework around government Bitcoin accumulation rather than unofficial or opaque purchases. The argument casts Bitcoin as a potential strategic asset and suggests that open U.S. accumulation could influence market stability and digital-asset policy more broadly.
