## Summary

**This bill would create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve under the Treasury to acquire and hold Bitcoin as a long-term government asset.** It would pair a five-year purchase program with strict custody, audit, and public reporting rules to increase transparency and control over federal crypto holdings. - Federal Treasury operations: Would run a Bitcoin Purchase Program to buy 200,000 Bitcoins per year for five years, totaling 1,000,000 Bitcoins, require a minimum 20-year hold, allow transfers from forfeitures or gifts, and publish annual reports for 20 years. - Federal Reserve and funding: Would cut the Federal Reserve surplus threshold from $6.8 billion to $2.4 billion and direct the first $6.0 billion of Fed remittances for 2025–2029 to finance purchases, plus require recalibration of gold certificates. - States and owners: Would let states opt into segregated SBR accounts with retained title and withdrawal rights, preserve individual self-custody rights, and bar the federal government from seizing lawfully acquired Bitcoin. *Would redirect specified Federal Reserve remittances and lower surplus thresholds to fund Bitcoin acquisitions, shifting federal receipts toward those purchases rather than specifying a net deficit impact.*
