The BITCOIN Act codifies Trump’s Bitcoin reserve policy, mandating long-term holdings while allowing controlled sales of up to 10% every two years, contrasting with Trump’s "never sell" stance. The Treasury Secretary would oversee acquisitions and ensure compliance with strict holding requirements.

Last week, after President Trump signed an executive order establishing a federal Bitcoin reserve, senior White House officials told Decrypt that the digital asset should be held indefinitely with the aim of generating “long term value.”

The Treasury Secretary would be responsible for both coordinating the acquisition of new Bitcoin and maintaining the reserve. All new BTC added to the program would have to be held for at least 20 years before it could be sold. And any current or future Treasury secretary would be prohibited from selling off more than 10 percent of the reserve during any two-year period
