US Congress Reviews Bill to Buy 1 Million Bitcoins for Strategic Reserve Over 5 Years

Prominent figures in the Bitcoin community converged on Capitol Hill Tuesday morning to rally support for a proposed strategic Bitcoin reserve and legislation that would require the U.S. government to acquire one million bitcoin over five years.

The event, hosted by the Digital Power Network and the Digital Chamber, brought together GOP lawmakers including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH), Rep. Nick Begich (R-AK), Rep. Pat Harrigan (R-NC), and Rep. Michael Rulli (R-OH) alongside Bitcoin bigwigs such as Michael Saylor, Tom Lee, Fred Thiel, and executives from the major mining firms.

Some attendees told Crypto In America the meeting was productive, with most of the conversation focused on different ways the U.S. could acquire Bitcoin, including options that would not add to the federal budget.

“There is strong agreement that the we need a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve law to ensure its longevity for America's financial future,” said Hailey Miller, Director of Government Relations and Public Policy at the Digital Power Network. “There is strong alignment on the bill's importance and the right next step is to codify the SBR within the broader policy frameworks already advancing.“

The bill is the BITCOIN Act, reintroduced by Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) in March, which would make bitcoin a national reserve asset on par with gold. Earlier this year, President Trump established a Bitcoin strategic reserve barring the government from selling any bitcoin seized in criminal or civil cases. Lummis’s bill goes further — not just keeping seized coins, but actively buying more.

Outside the crypto world, the idea is controversial, with Lummis herself admitting earlier this year that it could take a long time for her colleagues in Congress to get on board.

In the meantime, Bitcoin advocates are pushing hard to keep the idea alive.

"There is a lot that's been done in the digital asset space these last couple of months, and there are a whole lot more items on the agenda for this fall," Miller said in an interview with The Block. "So our real push is to ensure that the BITCOIN Act and a strategic bitcoin reserve remain a priority.”

Broadcom Stock Forecast: Down Over 30% Since June, Can the Stock Rebound From Here?

On September 16, Broadcom (AVGO) hit a recent intraday low of $335.80, pulling back 32% from its all-time high of $494.20 and almost entirely erasing its year-to-date gains. Yet just a few months ago, Broadcom was hailed by the market as the most certain winner in AI computing power; now, it has become a poster child for unfulfilled expectations. The root of this shift traces back to its Q2 FY2026 financial report released on June 3. While AI semiconductor revenue reached $10.8 billion—up 143% year-over-year—and Q3 guidance projected over 200% year-over-year growth, management merely reiterated its target of "exceeding $100 billion in AI chip revenue by FY2027" as unchanged, declining to raise it. Market expectations, already priced at a P/E ratio of around 90x, lost the fuel to expand further, sending the stock price into a continuous decline. As the share price dropped, its valuation also underwent a reset. Could this now mark a turning point for the stock?

Oracle Tumbles 7% as Project Jupiter Data Center Force Majeure Notice Sparks Delay Concerns

On September 24, Oracle (ORCL) fell as much as 5% in pre-market trading and dropped over 7% after the market opened. Sparking market concerns was a force majeure notice issued by the company regarding Project Jupiter, a large-scale data center in New Mexico. Investors' focus is shifting from massive AI orders to delivery timelines and capital recovery. According to Bloomberg, Oracle has sent a formal notice to developer Stack Infrastructure, seeking to delay payments if the project fails to become operational as planned in 2028. This move does not imply exiting its position as the primary tenant, nor does it mean a payment waiver has been granted. Oracle maintained that the project is proceeding according to schedule, but did not specifically address the notice itself.
