Allies of incoming U.S. President Trump have proposed selling a portion of the Federal Reserve's gold to purchase Bitcoin. Wyoming Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis plans to push for a bill when the new Congress is sworn in next year, which would require the U.S. to buy 1 million Bitcoins, accounting for nearly 5% of the outstanding tokens. Based on current market prices, this acquisition would cost around $90 billion. If the bill passes and investors act before the government purchases, the amount needed for the acquisition could increase.
