Republican Byron Donalds is set to introduce a bill in the US Congress to enshrine President Donald Trump’s executive order<\/a> establishing a SBR<\/span>. This was reported by Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The bill aims to protect the strategic bitcoin reserve from potential revocation by future presidents. If passed, the reserves will remain part of the Treasury’s long-term strategy, regardless of decisions by subsequent administrations.<\/p>\n

The bill requires 60 votes in the Senate and majority support in the House of Representatives. However, digital asset advocates are confident it will receive bipartisan approval.<\/p>\n

The document also provides for the creation of reserves of other digital assets already owned by the authorities or that may be seized in the future through court actions.<\/p>\n
