Senator Cynthia Lummis, an advocate for Bitcoin and financial innovation, has called for the United States to update its national reserves to include Bitcoin. Lummis, who represents Wyoming in the U.S. Senate, believes that a Bitcoin reserve could be audited 24/7 with just a basic computer, offering transparency and stability for the U.S. financial system. According to Bitcoin Magazine, she said, “A bitcoin reserve could be audited any time 24/7 with a basic computer. It’s time to upgrade our reserves.”
As the new chair of the Senate Banking Subcommittee on Digital Assets, Senator Lummis is pushing for legislative changes to integrate Bitcoin into U.S. economic policy. She has consistently advocated for regulatory clarity and Bitcoin-friendly policies. In a recent discussion, Lummis also opened up about the growing interest in Bitcoin reserves, not just within the U.S., but also from other countries like the United Arab Emirates.
Lummis shared that states like Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin are already considering creating their own strategic Bitcoin reserves, signaling a trend that could eventually influence federal policy. She said that states often act as incubators for innovation, and that a state-level Bitcoin reserve could serve as a model for broader adoption.

As part of her advocacy, Lummis will be discussing the role of Bitcoin in U.S. reserves and its potential to stabilize the nation’s finances at Bitcoin 2025, a key event for the cryptocurrency community. She encouraged Bitcoin supporters to engage with lawmakers and work towards making a state the first to adopt a strategic Bitcoin reserve.
Senator Lummis remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s future, seeing it as an asset that could help reduce the U.S. national debt and provide a hedge against inflation. She envisions Bitcoin playing a crucial role in protecting the U.S. dollar’s position as the world’s reserve currency.
