DescriptionThis event tracks the legislative status of the "Boosting Innovation, Technology, and Competitiveness through Optimized Investment Nationwide Act of 2025" (BITCOIN Act), introduced as S.954 by Senator Cynthia Lummis. The event focuses on whether this specific bill, or a substantially similar consolidated version (such as a House companion bill), is officially signed into law by the President of the United States on or before April 1, 2026.
-
- For a positive resolution, the bill must successfully pass both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate and receive the President's signature (or a congressional override of a veto) by the deadline. If the bill remains in committee, fails to pass either chamber, or is vetoed without a successful override by 23:59 ET on April 1, 2026, the event resolves negatively. Executive orders creating a "Bitcoin Stockpile" that do not have the force of the S.954 legislation do not qualify for a YES resolution.
-
- As of late December 2025, the bill is undergoing intense negotiations in the Senate Banking Committee. While the Republican majority supports the initiative, debates over funding mechanisms (using Federal Reserve surplus funds) and the scale of purchases are key hurdles. This market monitors the transition from a theoretical proposal to a codified national financial strategy.

- Primary resolution sources are the official Congress.gov bill tracker for S.954 and the White House "Briefing Room" for signing statements.
