🚨 U.S. House panel just advanced a Bitcoin reserve bill H.R. 8957, the American Reserve Modernization Act, cleared the House Financial Services Committee 28-21 and would put the federal Strategic Bitcoin Reserve under Treasury oversight. 👉 Federally held $BTC would sit inside a dedicated Strategic Bitcoin Reserve 👉 Non-Bitcoin assets like $XRP could be held in a separate Digital Asset Stockpile 👉 Assets would mainly come from criminal or civil forfeiture 👉 No automatic mandate exists to buy new $BTC, $XRP or other crypto with taxpayer money Most important distinction is how Washington is separating Bitcoin from the rest of crypto. $BTC gets reserve treatment, while $XRP and other seized digital assets would sit in a different government stockpile with separate rules. House committee approval is only an early step. A full House vote, Senate approval and presidential signature would still be required before any of this becomes law. #Bitcoin #Crypto
