CoinVoice has recently learned: According to The Block, U.S. House Representatives Nick Begich and Jared Golden have introduced the American Reserve Modernization Act of 2026, which aims to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve for the U.S. and create an independent digital asset reserve for non-Bitcoin assets.

The bill stipulates that the Bitcoin included in reserves must be locked for at least 20 years, during which it cannot be sold, exchanged, auctioned, or otherwise disposed of. Unlike the previously proposed BITCOIN Act, which aimed to buy 1 million Bitcoins within 5 years, ARMA does not set a specific purchase target but requires the Treasury and Commerce Departments to explore increasing assets through a 'budget-neutral' approach.

The bill also requires federal agencies to disclose their digital assets within 60 days of enactment, and to implement quarterly proof of reserves, independent audits, and Congressional oversight.
