United States Senator with the most significant Bitcoin holdings advocates for cryptocurrency regulation.
In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrencies, Pennsylvania Senator Dave McCormick has made a significant mark. His investments in Bitcoin, primarily through the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF, have placed him as the legislator with the highest exposure to Bitcoin in the U.S. Congress.
McCormick's decision to invest in Bitcoin reflects a growing recognition in Congress of the transformative potential of cryptocurrencies and digital assets. As a member of the Senate Subcommittee on Digital Assets, chaired by Senator Cynthia Lummis, McCormick is at the forefront of shaping the future of digital assets in the United States.
The subcommittee is currently working on a bill that aims to establish a clear regulatory framework for digital assets. This framework would address key issues such as the classification of cryptocurrencies, investor protection, and the prevention of illicit activities.
The proposed BITCOIN Act, a priority for the Senate Subcommittee on Digital Assets, seeks to protect the U.S. economy from public debt. One of its key provisions is the creation of a federal reserve of one million BTC, equivalent to 4.7% of the total supply of Bitcoin. This act aims to give the Executive Order 14233, which establishes a strategic Bitcoin reserve, the force and effect of law.
However, the "Executive Order 14233 Act of 2025" (H.R. 3798), which codifies this Executive Order, is currently in the committee stage in the House and has not yet become law. This federal Bitcoin reserve is intended to serve as a government-managed stockpile of Bitcoin as a strategic asset.
While the BITCOIN Act is a significant step towards regulating and promoting the use of Bitcoin, it is distinct from broader digital asset regulatory frameworks currently under discussion in Congress, such as the House-passed CLARITY Act and the Senate’s Responsible Financial Innovation Act (RFIA). These bills focus on regulatory clarity and classification of digital assets but do not specifically address the creation of a federal Bitcoin reserve.
As the cryptocurrency industry continues to grow, figures like McCormick are seen as a bridge between the traditional financial world and the new digital economy. Experts and industry leaders value legislators with direct experience in digital assets, contributing to the design of policies that promote innovation, transparency, and security for investors and users.

His confidence in Bitcoin symbolizes a generational shift in the perception of cryptocurrencies as an economic sovereignty tool. As the legislative process unfolds, it will be fascinating to see how McCormick's investments and his role in the Senate Subcommittee on Digital Assets shape the future of cryptocurrency regulation in the United States.
