20 years of locked staking + budget-neutral buybacks, if this bill passes, BTC might turn into digital gold reserves.

Crypto World News reports that U.S. lawmakers have introduced a new bill called ARMA, aimed at creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve managed by the Treasury Department, requiring Bitcoin to be held in the reserve for at least 20 years. Representative Nick Begich and co-sponsor Representative Jared Golden introduced the bill. Begich's office stated that the bill will establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve and set up a separate digital asset reserve for non-Bitcoin assets held by the federal government. The bill also calls for regular reserve proof reports, third-party audits, and congressional oversight, and instructs research into budget-neutral acquisition methods to avoid increasing taxes, deficit spending, or new national debt. The next step for the bill depends on committee action, House support, and coordination with the Senate and broader cryptocurrency legislation.
