π§΅ Legal thread of the week: the American Reserves Modernization Act (ARMA).
1/7 π¨ This week, Rep. Nick Begich announced plans to reintroduce landmark Bitcoin legislation in the coming weeks β now rebranded as the American Reserves Modernization Act (ARMA). The goal? Turn President Trumpβs executive order on a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve into permanent U.S. law.
2/7 ποΈ The original bill, formerly known as the BITCOIN Act, was co-introduced last year by Begich (R-AK) and Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY). ARMA aims to establish Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, just like gold at Fort Knox.
3/7 Key provisions include acquiring up to 1 million BTC over five years using budget-neutral strategies: no new taxpayer spending. Once acquired, Bitcoin must be held long-term with strict custody rules. β³
4/7 Begich explained the rebrand: βWeβre trying to make sure that bitcoin is treated like the reserve asset that it is.β The new name helps broaden support in Congress by focusing on national reserves modernization. π
5/7 Why rush this through Congress? Because executive orders can be undone by the next president. Begich said: βWe donβt know what the next administration is going to be likeβ¦ lock in the gains now.β π
6/7 If passed, ARMA would also force government agencies to properly identify and custody all Bitcoin they currently hold, treating it responsibly as a true strategic asset. π‘οΈ
7/7 This is a major step from temporary executive policy toward a codified national Bitcoin strategy. ARMA could be one of the most important Bitcoin bills of 2026. Whatβs your take, will it pass? π
ποΈ In todayβs world, knowing
#Bitcoin law isnβt optional, itβs essential for staying free and safe.
