With President-elect Donald Trump's return to the White House quickly approaching, investors weigh the prospect of a strategic bitcoin (BTC-USD) reserve. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), who introduced the bipartisan Lummis-Gillibrand Responsible Financial Innovation Act focused on regulating crypto, joins Catalysts Co-Hosts Seana Smith and Madison Mills to talk about her stance on the Federal Reserve holding bitcoin. "I want our federal government to have a strategic bitcoin reserve that can help back the US dollar as the world's reserve currency and then serve as a long-term savings account, thereby offsetting our national debt, which is over $36 trillion now," Lummis tells Yahoo Finance. The republican senator says, "My proposal would have the US purchase, through other assets that already owns, 200,000 bitcoin a year for five years, for a total of a million, hold it for at least 20 years, and at the numbers that we project, that would accrue a fund that's worth about $16 trillion." Lummis adds the reason why the federal government has not already pursued bitcoin as a solution to the national deficit is because, as indicated by Fed Chair Jerome Powell at the Fed's Decemeber meeting, it doesn't believe the central bank has the legal authority to own bitcoin. "We need to give that to them," she says. Check out Yahoo Finance's full interview with Senator Lummis here.

While Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell was adamant that the central bank could not own bitcoin (BTC-USD), Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) believes 2025 is shaping up to be "the year for bitcoin & digital assets" in a social media post from earlier this week. Senator Lummis — who has championed the bipartisan Lummis-Gillibrand Responsible Financial Innovation Act (RFIA) alongside Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) — has been a vocal supporter of President-elect Donald Trump's choice of David Sacks as the incoming administration's "AI and crypto czar" and what it represents for the crypto space. Senator Lummis sits down with Seana Smith and Madison Mills on Catalysts to discuss the outlook of a US strategic bitcoin reserve, calling the landmark cryptocurrency "the right asset" and "digital gold" for being a finite resource. "Only 21 million bitcoin will ever be mined. And it has the elements of strength. And even though it's slightly volatile, it's always volatile in an upward-leaning direction. And so the goal here of holding it for 20 years is in recognition that on the short term, there is short-term volatility. On the long term, there is long-term growth that far exceeds the ability of the US dollar to keep up." Bitwise Asset Management CIO Matt Hougan told Yahoo Finance this week that a US investment into a strategic bitcoin reserve could propel the cryptocurrency's price to $500,000. "The US dollar is designed to debase. The Fed has a goal of 2% per year inflation, whereas bitcoin's goal is to far, far exceed in value inflation and far exceed the value of the US dollar," Sen. Lummis explains. "And so far from inception, it has done exactly that. It's grown about 55% per year. And if you look at the long term, over time, it'll drop from 55% a year to 45% a year to 35% a year. But it will continue to grow where the US dollar will continue to decline in value."

Some bitcoin (BTC-USD) miners are shifting into artificial intelligence (AI) and selling their existing power to AI data centers as Big Tech companies look for power sources capable of meeting the energy-intensive needs of AI infrastructure. Core Scientific (CORZ) CEO and president Adam Sullivan joins Madison Mills on Catalysts to talk about how the company is balancing its resources to facilitate crypto mining and AI data centers. "We were the largest bitcoin mining company for the past three years, and that's really driven by the fact that we had to bring in traditional data center people to actually run the business. That's really been our differentiator," Sullivan tells Yahoo Finance. The CEO says, "We think of ourselves as a digital infrastructure company, whether it's building data centers for bitcoin mining or whether it's building data centers to host hundreds of megawatts of [Nvidia's (NVDA)] GB200 that you guys were talking about earlier, you know, our core competency is driven through large-scale digital infrastructure." Looking to 2025, the company expects "a relatively equal split" between crypto mining and AI. Sullivan adds, "Our expectation is to continue to grow the data center part of the business, which is just a radical shift from the high volatility bitcoin mining space moving into the data center space" as the "long-term contracts" provide "a lot of long-term and free cash-flow stability that investors really enjoy."
