A US House committee has advanced a bill concerning a national Bitcoin reserve in a party-line vote, according to Decrypt. The measure was considered after lawmakers adopted substitute text that changes several provisions from the earlier version. The revised text removes routes for funding the reserve through the Federal Reserve and reduces the scope of transparency requirements. The committee action marks a step forward for the proposal but does not by itself establish a Bitcoin reserve. Bitcoin (BTC) is the primary crypto asset linked to the legislation, while the bill’s potential market relevance may also draw attention from traders monitoring broader digital-asset policy developments. Decrypt reported the committee’s action on September 17, 2026.
