US senators have introduced the "US Mining Act," which proposes to include strategic Bitcoin reserves in law.

On March 31, The Block reported that Republican Senators Cynthia Lummis and Bill Cassidy introduced the "American Mining Act." This act aims to increase the role of cryptocurrency mining in the U.S. economy and implement President Trump's executive order on establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve. The bill would direct the Department of Commerce to create a voluntary certification program for mining pools and facilities. Certified facilities would be required to phase out mining equipment produced by companies linked to foreign adversaries. Lummis stated that the bill seeks to bring the mining industry back to the United States through forward-thinking initiatives, thereby securing the nation's financial future. Previously, Trump pledged during his campaign to make the U.S. the "crypto capital of the world." In March of this year, he signed an executive order establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve funded by Bitcoin seized through judicial means.
