In March, Trump signed an executive order telling the government to stop selling seized crypto. Congress now wants to make that permanent — surviving any future administration.
The House Financial Services Committee passed ARMA (H.R. 8957) 28–21. The government's
324,527 BTC (~$24.7B) would be frozen for at least 20 years, with mandatory quarterly audits. The bill also writes private key ownership into law as "fundamental to financial sovereignty."Full House and Senate votes still ahead. But a government legally barring itself from touching Bitcoin for two decades isn't crypto politics anymore — it's fiscal architecture.
