Bitcoin News Blast: U.S. Bitcoin Reserve Bill Update & Sub-Saharan Africa is 3rd Fastest-Growing Crypto Market

U.S. Bitcoin Reserve Bill Update - Cointelegraph

U.S. lawmakers to meet with 18 crypto industry executives, including Strategy chairman Michael Saylor, to discuss how Congress can move forward with the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

The industry executives are looking to build momentum behind the BITCOIN Act, a measure introduced by U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis in March 2025 that calls on the government to acquire 1 million Bitcoin over five years. The purchases would be funded through the Federal Reserve and Department of the Treasury, with Trump’s executive order stating that it must be financed through budget-neutral strategies without impacting taxpayers.

How it impacts you? If this bill is eventually signed into law and the U.S. ends up with 1 million Bitcoin in its reserves, it could help offset our $37 trillion National Debt, that’s if the lawmakers use it for that. Only time will tell.

Sub-Saharan Africa is 3rd Fastest-Growing Crypto Market - Cointelegraph

Sub-Saharan Africa is the third-fastest growing region for crypto adoption, according to a Chainalysis report. The region faces challenges that make it well-suited for crypto adoption such as an unbanked population, local fiat currencies that devalue quickly, and a shortage of dollars that may make US-pegged stablecoins more attractive.

For the reporting period, the region saw growth in institutional adoption, led by stablecoin flows, which are accounting for million-dollar transactions between Africa, the Middle East and Asia. In Sub-Saharan Africa, Nigeria led the way for institutional momentum, receiving $92 billion in onchain value over the 12 months.

How it impacts you? Stablecoin influence is growing and we all need to take notice. These were exactly some of the reasons why Cryptocurrencies were invented: aid the unbanked and be a hedge against inflation. The African continent is going to economically shift in the coming decades.

Hot Take

Fed Rate Cut incoming tomorrow. Typically, this is a bullish sign for all markets including Bitcoin. If you’re going to make any investment moves, now would be the time.
