Congress Invites Cryptocurrency Leaders for Dialogue on Trump's Proposed Bitcoin Reservation
In a significant gathering scheduled for September 16, 2025, influential figures from the Bitcoin mining industry, finance, and technology will convene in Washington D.C. to discuss the BITCOIN Act.
Among the attendees will be Bitcoin leaders such as Matt Schultz and Margeaux Plaisted from CleanSpark, Jayson Browder from MARA, Haris Basit from Bitdeer, and Michael Saylor, a well-known Bitcoin advocate.
The BITCOIN Act, introduced by Senator Cynthia Lummis in March, proposes that the U.S. Treasury should acquire up to one million Bitcoin over the next five years. The Federal Reserve and the Treasury are expected to finance these purchases.
The focus of the discussion will likely revolve around the economics of securing the Bitcoin network as the government ramps up potential involvement. The Digital Chambers' statement indicates that the focus will also be on ensuring the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is advanced in a budget-neutral way and building the coalition needed to move the BITCOIN Act forward.
The gathering will feature a blend of crypto-native voices and Wall Street veterans. Venture capital firms such as Off the Chain Capital and Reserve One, Andrew McCormick of eToro's US arm, traditional finance representatives like Western Alliance Bank's David Fragale and Blue Square Wealth's Jay Bluestine will also attend the discussion.
Several methods for financing the BITCOIN Act have been suggested, including tapping into unused Treasury gold certificates and re-routing tariff revenue. However, the BITCOIN Act's implementation must be budget-neutral, as stated in Trump's executive order.
The discussion promises to be a pivotal event in the world of Bitcoin and could shape the future of digital currency's role in the U.S. economy.
