TD₿: Bitcoin Revolution in Washington: Senator Lummis on U.S. Debt, Gold, Stablecoins & Dollar Dominance - (a Coin Stories episode) with Natalie Burnell
TL;DR: The future of Bitcoin in America—from the BITCOIN Act to stablecoin regulation, strategic reserves, and how these policies could reshape the U.S. financial system.
Hey Bitcoiners,
In today’s video, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis discusses the significant policy shift in Washington, D.C., regarding Bitcoin and digital assets. This reserve would involve acquiring one million Bitcoins over five years, funded through mechanisms such as revaluing gold certificates to reflect current market prices. Senator Lummis emphasized that this initiative could potentially reduce the national debt by half over two decades, without imposing additional burdens on taxpayers.
Additionally, Senator Lummis addresses the importance of clear regulatory frameworks for stablecoins, noting that such regulations could enhance the market for U.S. treasuries and bolster the dollar's dominance as the global reserve currency.
She also expresses a commitment to maintaining bipartisan support for digital asset initiatives, underscoring the need for comprehensive education among lawmakers to bridge existing knowledge gaps. Looking ahead, Senator Lummis envisions Bitcoin becoming a primary store of value globally, with governments and individuals alike recognizing its potential as a hedge against economic instability.

Alabama and Minnesota Move to Invest State Funds in Bitcoin
Alabama and Minnesota are advancing legislation to allow state investment in Bitcoin, signaling renewed momentum for state-level Bitcoin reserves.
Minnesota's "Bitcoin Act" (HF 2946 / SF 2661), introduced by Rep. B. Olson, would allow the state to invest in and accept Bitcoin for taxes and transactions, amending over a dozen statutes.
Alabama’s SB 283 / HB 482 would permit investment in digital assets with a market cap over $750 billion — currently, only Bitcoin qualifies. Holdings would be limited to 10% of any state fund.
Both states are using identical bills in both chambers to fast-track legislation. If passed, laws would take effect on October 1, 2025 (Alabama) and January 1, 2026 (Minnesota).
These proposals are part of a broader trend: 47 Bitcoin reserve bills have been introduced across 26 U.S. states, with activity ongoing in states like Texas, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Arizona, and Utah. Some states have paused their efforts, but the push to treat Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset continues.
