Senator Cynthia Lummis and Michael Saylor Discuss Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Proposal

Published | Video Starts at 01:24

So let's just start with the most straightforward question, Senator Lummis. Why does the United States need a strategic bitcoin reserve? We have a strategic oil reserve. We have a strategic gold reserve. We have a strategic cheese reserve. Bitcoin is digital gold. Bitcoin is easy to store. It is immutable. It is scarce. We can protect it in individual vaults that can be secure and hold it for 20 years. (01:24–01:35)
