Earlier this year, the Wyoming senator filed a bill authorizing the US government to increase its digital asset reserve. The Lummis bill authorizes the government to acquire up to 1 million Bitcoins in five years. Last Thursday, the lawmaker suggested <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2024-11-14\/trump-s-ally-lummis-pushes-to-sell-some-of-the-fed-s-gold-to-buy-bitcoin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">selling the US central bank\u2019s gold<\/a> reserves to acquire additional Bitcoins for the government.<\/p>\n<p>If the Lummis bill passes, Saylor estimates that the US government can generate $16 trillion in savings. For Saylor, the best approach to protecting the USD is to end debt.
