Growing BTC reserve requires Congressional legislation — VanEck exec

Building a permanent US strategic Bitcoin reserve would likely require targeted legislation rather than executive action, according to VanEck’s head of digital assets, Matthew Sigel. Speaking at Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas, Sigel said the most viable path forward may involve inserting Bitcoin mining incentives into the congressional budget reconciliation process. According to Sigel, the most effective path to growing a US strategic Bitcoin reserve would be through targeted amendments to congressional budget legislation. These could include tax credits for mining companies that use methane gas and other incentives aimed at encouraging miners to share a portion of their mined BTC with the federal government. He argued that such an approach would allow the reserve to grow organically over time. Sigel also highlighted the limitations of executive actions in achieving this goal: "The problem with executive action is that it's going to prompt lawsuits. And anything over $100 million is going to get sued by the Elizabeth Warrens of the world. So, I would say start with something maybe in the Exchange Stabilization Fund for $100 million." US President Donald Trump established the US Bitcoin Strategic Reserve through a March 7 executive order. According to the order, the US government can only acquire Bitcoin through budget-neutral strategies or asset forfeiture, prompting a range of different ideas on how to add to the government’s stockpile of nearly 200,000 BTC.

Converting gold to Bitcoin would allow the US government to purchase more Bitcoin without incurring a cost to the taxpayer, Lummis said. Bo Hines, the executive director of the President’s Council of Advisers on Digital Assets, echoed the idea in March 2025. Hines called on the US Treasury to revalue its gold holdings , which are currently priced at just $42.22 per troy ounce, and convert a portion of those gains to Bitcoin. This strategy would also be budget-neutral, Hines said. The price of gold reached an all-time high of $3,500 per ounce in April but experienced a minor pullback to around $3,300 on May 27.

The Last Wealth Secret: Why Financial Advisors Are Quietly Accumulating Bitcoin Solaris Instead of Following Dogecoin News

Dogecoin’s viral success and meme-fueled rallies have drawn millions of retail investors into the crypto space. Its media-friendly narrative and celebrity endorsements helped push it to top-tier status — but its core mechanics remain unchanged. Dogecoin offers no smart contract capabilities, no native yield, and no supply cap. As a result, serious financial professionals are increasingly viewing it as a speculative tool, not a vehicle for sustainable wealth. In contrast, Bitcoin Solaris has begun attracting quiet accumulation from financial advisors and portfolio strategists seeking real utility, fixed tokenomics, and protocol-level access. With its mobile-native mining model and decentralized daily earnings, BTC-S is now being recognized as one of the few under-the-radar opportunities with real fundamentals and growth architecture. From Speculation to Participation: A Shift in Strategy Bitcoin Solaris introduces Nova App, a mobile mining platform that transforms smartphones into income-generating assets. Users allocate 1–5 GB of storage and background CPU power, typically while the phone charges, and receive BTC-S tokens based on uptime. No staking, technical skills, or third-party platforms are required. This model appeals to financial professionals because it represents predictable, participation-based earnings rather than sentiment-driven performance. Unlike Dogecoin, which offers exposure to price movement alone, Bitcoin Solaris gives users the ability to earn directly from decentralized infrastructure — turning clients into contributors, not just holders. Technology That Scales with Adoption, Not Hype Bitcoin Solaris is built on a dual-layer blockchain designed for high throughput and broad accessibility. The Base Layersecures the network using Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and Proof-of-Capacity (PoC), while the Solaris Layer handles contract execution and mining logic via Proof-of-History (PoH) and Proof-of-Time (PoT). This architecture enables over 10,000 TPS with 2-second finality, ensuring the network can support thousands of mobile miners simultaneously. This system allows Bitcoin Solaris to function as both a high-performance blockchain and a passive income protocol — without congestion, bottlenecks, or reliance on Layer 2 patches. For institutional advisors and high-net-worth planners, that means scalability and long-term viability without speculative dependency. Audited and Verified for User Confidence Bitcoin Solaris has undergone extensive third-party auditing and governance verification. The Cyberscope audit reviewed contract logic and emission structure. The Freshcoins audit validated mobile mining at scale. KYC verification was also completed to ensure transparent governance and compliance alignment. These security layers are a prerequisite for advisors recommending digital assets in structured portfolios — especially those with client exposure mandates. Early Entry Offers Direct Protocol Exposure Bitcoin Solaris is now in Presale Phase 5, priced at 5 USDT per BTC-S token. The listing price is set for 20 USDT, with no future token creation beyond the fixed 21 million supply. Of that, 4.2 million tokens (20%) are allocated to presale participants. Unlike Dogecoin, which has an uncapped supply and no formal distribution model, Bitcoin Solaris offers a defined economic entry point — one that grants both price access and early mining participation before the Nova App goes live and user difficulty increases. In a new segment, Crypto Nitro highlighted the divergence between meme-driven assets and blockchain projects with reward logic. He outlines how Bitcoin Solaris’s fixed-supply model and Nova App structure make it a long-term holding for professionals and early-stage investors alike. Dogecoin helped bring attention to crypto — but attention alone doesn’t create wealth. Bitcoin Solaris offers what Dogecoin never did: structured tokenomics, real utility, and consistent user rewards. For long-term investors, the opportunity is clear — and it’s happening before the headlines.

Is a Massive XRP Move Coming? Futures Say Yes, Charts Say “Any Minute Now” (XRP Price Prediction)

XRP (XRP) has dipped by 1% over the past week, consolidating below $2.60 — but rising futures activity could change that soon, raising bullish XRP price prediction hopes. Trading volumes in the past 24 hours have gone up slightly by 8.4% and currently stand at $2.2 billion as Bitcoin (BTC) seems determined to retest its latest all-time high of nearly $112,000. Even though the token’s price action has been relatively calm, the futures market has been quite active, according to data from CoinGlass . Open interest in XRP futures across top exchanges have increased since May 7 from $3.6 billion to $4.8 billion – a 29.7% increase in less than a month. However, during this period, the price has gone up by just 8.5% from $2.13 to $2.31. XRP Price Prediction: XRP Could Drop to $2 Before Rising to a New All-Time High XRP’s daily chart shows that the price has broken its bullish structure and has already retested this former support from below. This is a bearish indication in the near term but not necessarily a sign of an impending collapse as the market needs to raise liquidity for the next leg up. The 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) seems like the most plausible landing zone for XRP as it coincides with a key psychological level at $2 per token. It is highly likely that bears will push the price to this threshold to unlock additional liquidity in the next few days to catalyze a pronounced move. In bull markets, short squeezes tend to be one of the most effective ways to propel the price of an asset higher. Hence, a break below $2 could be what the token needs to recapture buyers’ interest and support a bullish XRP price prediction to $3 at least. Patient investors and traders will benefit the most if they wait for the best entry, which is probably the $2 level. In the mean time, as Bitcoin reaches $110,000, the first milestone of a crypto presale called BTC Bull Token (BTCBULL) could soon be hit and, with it, an attractive reward for token holders will be unlocked. BTC Bull Token (BTCBULL) Pays Out Bitcoin to Holders BTC Bull Token (BTCBULL) is an innovative meme coin presale that introduces a reward mechanism tied to the performance of the top crypto – Bitcoin. Rewards are distributed to token holders every time that BTC reaches a new price milestone, the first of which sits at $125,000. Once the price gets to that level, a portion of BTCBULL’s circulating supply will be burned. This will foster scarcity and should result in an immediate uptick in its price. Next up, once the price reaches $125K, token holders will receive a direct airdrop of Bitcoin tokens. This system repeats every time that BTC adds $25,000 more to its price, starting at a baseline of $100K. To start earning passive income through BTCBULL, head to the BTC Bull Token website and connect your wallet (e.g. Best Wallet ). You can either swap USDT or ETH for this token or use a bank card to make your investment. The post Is a Massive XRP Move Coming?

MARA’s Fred Thiel Says U.S. Should Start Mining Bitcoin to Fill Strategic Reserve

LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA) CEO Fred Thiel has an idea for how U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration can make good on its promises to build out a strategic bitcoin reserve: start mining. Speaking on a panel at Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas on Tuesday, Thiel said that the U.S. government has many potential ways to generate bitcoin to fill the strategic bitcoin reserve that would adhere to the “budget-neutral” acquisition strategy laid out in Trump’s March executive order, including using excess hydroenergy to mine bitcoin domestically. Though it’s been nearly three months since Trump authorized the establishment of a strategic bitcoin reserve, it remains unclear exactly how — and when — the government will take steps to actually begin filling it, a source of evident frustration among a number of speakers at the conference. “I think it’s critical,” Thiel said of acquiring bitcoin for the reserve. “The U.S. making a statement that we’re going to have a strategic reserve is an empty statement unless you start putting stuff into it.” At this point, the reserve is supposed to hold all of the bitcoin that has been sized by the government in civil and criminal forfeitures — estimated to be approximately 200,000 bitcoins. But many in the industry and government, including Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), think that getting the government’s existing stockpile of bitcoin into a strategic reserve is merely a first step, to be followed by bigger, more meaningful acquisitions. In March, Lummis re-introduced legislation — the so-called BITCOIN Act of 2025 — aimed at codifying Trump’s plans for a strategic bitcoin reserve. Under Lummis’ plan, after getting all of the forfeited bitcoin into the reserve, the U.S. government would spend the next two to five years converting a portion of its gold certificates into bitcoin. “We have enough assets in under performing assets that we can get five percent of the world’s bitcoin without spending a single dime,” Lummis said. However, Lummis acknowledged that it’s unlikely that any real movement on the BITCOIN Act — or, more broadly, taking any significant steps to fill the strategic reserve with anything other than forfeited assets — will come before Congress works its way through stablecoin and market structure legislation. “It’s going to be a heavier lift than I thought because so many people don’t understand bitcoin,” Lummis said.

MARA shares reach a one-month peak

Mara Holdings became the world’s most profitable corporate miner, after a year of hashrate growth and new market peaks for BTC. MARA shares also expanded to a one-month peak. Mara Holdings posted $752M in annualized income from its Bitcoin mining business. The company has turned into one of the most profitable corporate miners, growing its hashrate over the years. To achieve its current earnings, Mara Holdings built 57.3 EH/s in total hashrate. Years ago, we started down the road of Bitcoin mining with just ~0.2 EH/s. Since then, we’ve gone far beyond the benchmarks that once defined the industry, with over ~57 EH/s of computational power energized. We have redefined what it means to be a Bitcoin miner. Today, we are… pic.twitter.com/MYZTonMVRd — MARA (@MARAHoldings) May 27, 2025 The miner runs its own pool, which includes all its data centers and farms. Mara Holdings produces up to 10% of blocks due to the high efficiency of its mining operations. The corporate miner is among the top 10 pools and the second-largest US-based mining pool following Foundry Digital. Mara Holdings produces new BTC both through its native pool, and through Foundry.USA, receiving regular inflows of BTC. The corporate miner holds 10,765 BTC in its mining-connected wallet for a constantly growing treasury. The mining operations were also the basis of Mara Holding’s leveraged buying. Mara is the second-biggest BTC holder after Strategy (MSTR), with a total of 48,137 BTC . The fund has an extremely low-cost basis for its BTC treasury, fulfilling the purpose of tapping value. The company increased its holdings by 174% in the past five quarters on a mix of mining and sporadic acquisitions. The success of Mara showed miners were now immune to panic-based capitulation, even during BTC downturns. Miners continue to produce BTC under stressful conditions but retain most of the coins. BTC miners hold over 1.8M coins, some of which have been used as the basis for corporate treasuries. MARA shares reach a one-month peak MARA shares recovered to a one-month peak, gaining more rapidly in the past day. MARA traded at $16.34, tracking the BTC expansion in May. Interest in MARA also increased as traders focused on companies carrying Bitcoin treasuries. MARA increased its mindshare on social media, for its unique position as a scalable block producer and direct BTC buyer. The companies also gained exposure during the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas. MARA also achieved the biggest daily gains, though other corporate miner stocks were in the green. Most corporate miner stocks tracked the BTC market, with net gains for the past month. US-based mining corporations were among the big winners in the past month, as BTC recovered above $100,000. | Source: CompaniesMarketCap The shares of Mara Holdings have reflected both its mining results and the robust BTC treasury. However, Mara Holdings has not announced new acquisitions and has not competed with Strategy to acquire more BTC through leveraged instruments. Despite this, the holding’s approach is more sustainable, supported by its mining operations, locations, and the ability to pivot to data centers. The company expanded to a total of 17 data centers as of May 2025. The company has highly efficient mining operations, accessing 1.1 GW in energy, with the option to expand to 1.7 GW. BTC mining costs are estimated at $91,950 per coin, though Mara Holdings has achieved a lower production price due to its early investment and access to cheap energy.
