The U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve proposal, known as H.R. 8957 or the American Reserve Modernization Act (ARMA) of 2026, is set to be considered by the House Financial Services Committee on September 16. Sponsored by Representative Nick Begich, the bill aims to formalize a strategic BTC reserve with a minimum 20-year holding requirement.

The U.S. government currently holds approximately 328,000 BTC, worth about $25 billion, making it the largest government Bitcoin holder in the world.
