The Bitcoin Act’s passage could eventually send BTC’s price past $1 million per coin, industry executives say.
Establishing a strategic Bitcoin (BTC) reserve in the United States would accelerate Bitcoin’s adoption even more than 2024’s exchange-traded fund (ETF) launches, cryptocurrency researcher CoinShares said in a Jan. 10 blog post.
In 2024, US lawmakers proposed the Bitcoin Act, which would direct the US Treasury Department to create a “strategic Bitcoin reserve” by purchasing 1 million BTC over a 5-year period. President-elect Donald Trump endorsed the plan, which has not yet been passed into law.
“We believe that the enactment of the Bitcoin Act in the United States would have a more profound long-term impact on Bitcoin than the launch of ETFs,” CoinShares said.

VanEck has said a US Bitcoin reserve could majorly slash the national debt if the cryptocurrency grows to $42.3 million a coin by 2049.
The United States could reduce its national debt by 35% in the next 24 years if it creates a reserve of 1 million Bitcoin, in line with a bill proposed by Senator Cynthia Lummis, says asset management firm VanEck.
VanEck’s estimate assumed Bitcoin (BTC) will increase at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25% to $42.3 million by 2049, while US national debt climbs at a 5% CAGR from $37 trillion at the start of 2025 to $119.3 trillion over the same time.
