The discussion will focus on the BITCOIN Act, introduced by
Senator Cynthia Lummis in March, which proposes that the U.S. government
acquire one million Bitcoin over five years using budget-neutral strategies.

Potential Market Implications

Iruk added that institutional adoption could have wider
financial effects, noting, “Beyond just the symbolic endorsement of Bitcoin as
a sound monetary asset, institutional adoption would trigger many secondary
effects across the financial markets.”

Iruk also stressed that any adoption plan should preserve
Bitcoin’s decentralized nature to maintain its credibility and global appeal.
He suggested that the measure could encourage corporate treasury participation
and further position Bitcoin within the macro asset class.
