The discussion will focus on the BITCOIN Act, introduced by Senator Cynthia Lummis in March, which proposes that the U.S. government acquire one million Bitcoin over five years using budget-neutral strategies.

Potential Market Implications

Iruk added that institutional adoption could have wider financial effects, noting, “Beyond just the symbolic endorsement of Bitcoin as a sound monetary asset, institutional adoption would trigger many secondary effects across the financial markets.”

Preserving Bitcoin’s Decentralization

Iruk also stressed that any adoption plan should preserve Bitcoin’s decentralized nature to maintain its credibility and global appeal. He suggested that the measure could encourage corporate treasury participation and further position Bitcoin within the macro asset class.
