US lawmakers are meeting with 18 crypto industry leaders, including Michael Saylor and Tom Lee, to discuss President Trump’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. They aim to advance the BITCOIN Act, which calls for acquiring one million BTC over five years funded through budget-neutral strategies, following the GENIUS Act stablecoin bill.

Industry execs will pitch ideas on funding Bitcoin purchases without impacting taxpayers. They will focus on advancing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in a budget-neutral way and overcoming objections to the BITCOIN Act. Strategies like reevaluating Treasury’s gold certificates and tariff revenue will be explored.

Bitcoin mining executives, VC firms, and bankers are also meeting with lawmakers. Attendees include CleanSpark, MARA, Bitdeer, Off the Chain Capital, and Reserve One. Traditional finance representatives from Western Alliance Bank and Blue Square Wealth will join the discussion. The US risks being ‘front run’ on Bitcoin reserve by other nations according to Samson Mow.
