U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis has put forward an innovative plan to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve, partly financed by revaluing the Federal Reserve's gold certificates, as reported by CoinDesk. The draft legislation proposes a 'Bitcoin Purchase Program' aimed at acquiring up to 200,000 BTC annually over five years, totaling 1 million BTC.
Senator Lummis, a known Bitcoin advocate from Wyoming, unveiled this proposal at the Bitcoin Nashville conference. The plan involves setting up a decentralized network of secure Bitcoin storage facilities across the U.S., chosen based on geographic diversity, security, and accessibility.
The draft bill, named the 'Bitcoin Act of 2024,' designates the Treasury Secretary to oversee the Bitcoin Purchase Program. The acquired Bitcoin would be held for a minimum of 20 years and could only be sold to pay off federal debt, with a restriction allowing no more than 10% of the assets to be sold within any two-year period.
Funding for the Bitcoin purchases is outlined to come from multiple sources. The plan allocates $6 billion from the Federal Reserve's net earnings remitted to the Treasury from fiscal years 2025 through 2029. It also proposes reducing the discretionary surplus funds of Federal Reserve banks to $2.4 billion from the current $6.825 billion. Additionally, it involves revaluing the Federal Reserve banks' gold certificates to their fair market value.
Within six months of the bill's enactment, Federal Reserve banks would be required to tender all outstanding gold certificates to the Treasury Secretary. New gold certificates, reflecting the fair market value of the gold, would then be issued. The Federal Reserve banks would remit the cash value difference to the Treasury Secretary.
As of July 24, the Federal Reserve banks held "gold stock" valued at $11 billion, based on the official U.S. book value of $42.22 per troy ounce, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. This revaluation would adjust the certificates to reflect the current market value of gold, providing additional funds for the Bitcoin reserve initiative.
Vince, why does the Federal Reserve value gold at $42 and I have heard about the gold certificates, are they from the 1933 confiscation, a good topic for a slow market day ?
The National Security Agency, Pentagon (DARPA), MIT and Deep State IS Satoshi. Satoshi is a fake lore the Globalists created to drive people into the Deep States arms without knowing it; while simultaneously getting people to think it's the antidote to Central banks or "The System”. When in reality, Bitcoin was created by the system as a replacement monetary system/pre-programming & pre-conditioning the public for CBDC.
I read that the Biden administration moved the BTC from the Silkroad seizure out of its wallet and onto an exchange. BTC slipped immediately. The move came after TRUMO addressed the BTC conference on Sunday. That piece of news has slipped out of the press.
Last month the German Govt sold its stash of seized BTC- (47,000 valued at 2 Billion Dollars) took the price of BTC DOWN TO $53,000- unsure if we’re seeing a reaction or the USA( Biden administration) is selling the coin as a smack down to TRUMPS positive spin? For sure moved to the lower end of its previous range unsure why yet I continue to monitor this current “dip”, The only reason to move the BTC out of the wallet is to somehow change the coins status? Sell or transfer.

In the movie, they said "Everybody be cool, this is a robbery"

Dude, learn what FOSS stands for, and what it means.
Yea its a trap
I agree.
If the US government does not want to hold USD or treasuries, why would anyone else?
