U.S. House Representatives have introduced legislation that would establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve with a mandatory 20-year minimum holding period, signaling a long-term commitment to treating Bitcoin as a national strategic asset rather than a short-term fiscal tool. The bill, known as the American Reserve Measures Act (ARMA), is led by Rep. Nick Begich and Rep. Derrick Van Epps, both of whom issued press releases announcing their roles in the effort.
