Bitcoin briefly rose above $85,000 after an unverified post on X claimed the U.S. Senate would vote on the Clarity Act crypto market-structure bill at 2:15 p.m. ET on Tuesday, September 22, 2026. The post also asserted that Democrats had agreed to an updated version. No official Senate schedule, leadership statement, or congressional calendar supported a vote on that date. The timing matched a cloture vote held on September 15, when a motion to proceed to H.R. 3633 failed 49-50. Although a motion to reconsider remains pending, no public notice has set a new floor date for Tuesday. CoinGecko data at about 09:51 UTC on September 21 showed Bitcoin at $84,917.81, up 5.5% over 24 hours, after trading between $80,267.61 and $85,045.70. Trading volume was $36.164 billion, while market capitalization stood at $1.706 trillion based on a circulating supply of 20.087 million BTC. Bitcoin had slipped toward the mid-$75,000s after the September 15 vote before recovering through the weekend. The latest rebound returned it to the psychological $85,000 area despite the lack of official confirmation for the rumored Senate vote.
