Cynthia Lummis Says Acquitisions For Strategic Bitcoin Reserve 'Can Start Anytime' Under Trump's Backing

Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) piqued the curiosity of cryptocurrency enthusiasts Tuesday after stating that funding for a Strategic Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) Reserve can start “anytime.”

Legislating Is A Slog, Says Lummis

In an X post, Lummis said that efforts are underway to work toward the passage of a BITCOIN Act,  a bill proposing the acquisition of 1 million BTC over five years, with a 20-year holding period,  leveraging budget-neutral strategies like Federal Reserve remittances and gold certificate revaluations.

“Legislating is a slog, and we continue to work toward passage, but thanks to President Trump, the acquisition of funds for an SBR can start anytime,” Lummis said.

Support For Gold Revaluation To Fund SBR

Lummis responded to Jeff Park, Chief Investment Officer at ProCap Financial, who, during a recent interview, pushed for using paper gains on U.S. gold holdings to buy Bitcoin.

“The thing that is really interesting is what if we actually do find a way to find a funding-based liquidity on the trillion dollars of gold and buy Bitcoin,” Park said. “And a trillion dollars of Bitcoin is actually hugely impactful for the Bitcoin market.”

The market value of America’s gold reserves surpassed $1 trillion last month, far above the official $11 billion valuation based on a statutory price of $42.22 an ounce set in 1973.

Will The Government Buy BTC?

Little has come from the executive side since President Donald Trump signed an order to establish a Bitcoin reserve earlier this year. Trump’s crypto advisor, David Sacks, said in May that the path to acquiring Bitcoin was ready, and it’s just a matter of getting the Commerce Department and the Treasury Department “excited.”

Interestingly, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated in August that the government would not buy additional BTC and expressed “doubt” about revaluing gold, but later signaled that budget‑neutral options to expand the reserve were being considered.

The U.S. government holds 198,021 BTC, worth approximately $24.17 billion, according to on-chain analytics firm Arkham, with the majority seized from criminal and civil forfeiture proceedings.

Building Wealth Across More Than Just the Market

Building a resilient portfolio means thinking beyond a single asset or market trend. Economic cycles shift, sectors rise and fall, and no one investment performs well in every environment. That’s why many investors look to diversify with platforms that provide access to real estate, fixed-income opportunities, professional financial guidance, precious metals, and even self-directed retirement accounts. By spreading exposure across multiple asset classes, it becomes easier to manage risk, capture steady returns, and create long-term wealth that isn’t tied to the fortunes of just one company or industry.

Arrived Homes

Backed by Jeff Bezos, Arrived Homes makes real estate investing accessible with a low barrier to entry. Investors can buy fractional shares of single-family rentals and vacation homes starting with as little as $100. This allows everyday investors to diversify into real estate, collect rental income, and build long-term wealth without needing to manage properties directly.

Worthy Bonds

For those seeking fixed-income style returns without Wall Street complexity, Worthy Property Bonds offers SEC-qualified, interest-bearing bonds starting at just $10. Investors earn a fixed 7% annual return, with funds deployed to small U.S. businesses. The bonds are fully liquid, meaning you can cash out anytime, making them attractive for conservative investors looking for steady, passive income.

IRA Financial

Self-directed investors looking to take greater control of their retirement savings may consider IRA Financial. The platform enables you to use a self-directed IRA or Solo 401(k) to invest in alternative assets such as real estate, private equity, or even crypto. This flexibility empowers retirement savers to go beyond traditional stocks and bonds, building diversified portfolios that align with their long-term wealth strategies.

Moomoo Idle Cash

Moomoo isn’t just for trading — it’s also one of the most attractive places to park cash. New users can earn a promotional 8.1% APY on uninvested cash, combining a 3.85% base rate with a 4.25% booster once activated. On top of that, eligible new users can also score up to $1,000 in free Nvidia stock—but the real draw here is the ability to earn bank-beating interest rates without having to move into riskier assets.

SoFi Alt Investments

SoFi gives members access to a wide range of professionally managed alternative funds, covering everything from commodities and private credit to venture capital, hedge funds, and real estate. These funds can provide broader diversification, help smooth out portfolio volatility, and potentially boost total returns over time. Many of the funds have relatively low minimums, making alternative investing accessible.

Range Wealth Management

Range Wealth Management takes a modern, subscription-based approach to financial planning. Instead of charging asset-based fees, the platform offers flat-fee tiers that provide unlimited access to fiduciary advisors along with AI-powered planning tools. Investors can link their accounts without moving assets, while higher-level plans unlock advanced support for taxes, real estate, and multi-generational wealth strategies. This model makes Range especially appealing to high-earning professionals who want holistic advice and predictable pricing.

American Hartford Gold

For investors concerned about inflation or seeking portfolio protection, American Hartford Gold provides a simple way to buy and hold physical gold and silver within an IRA or direct delivery. With a minimum investment of $10,000, the platform caters to those looking to preserve wealth through precious metals while maintaining the option to diversify retirement accounts. It’s a favored choice for conservative investors who want tangible assets that historically hold value during uncertain markets.
