The House Financial Services Committee is scheduled to mark up H.R. 8957, the American Reserve Modernization Act of 2026, on Sept. 16 at 10 a.m. Eastern time. The bill would place the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve created by President Donald Trump’s March 2025 executive order into statute, directing Treasury to establish secure custody within 180 days and hold qualifying federal Bitcoin for at least 20 years. It would also create a separate Digital Asset Stockpile for non-Bitcoin holdings, require quarterly public proof-of-reserve reports, and direct Treasury and Commerce to study budget-neutral ways to acquire additional Bitcoin. Republican Rep. Nick Begich introduced the measure in May, with Democratic Rep. Jared Golden among its cosponsors.
