House Committee Advances Strategic Crypto Reserve Bill with XRP Inclusion

The U.S. House Financial Services Committee has advanced a bill that would establish two separate crypto-related reserves at the Treasury Department: a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile.

The American Reserve Modernization Act of 2026, or H.R. 8957, passed with a 28-21 vote on September 16 and is now one step closer to becoming law.

Beyond holding Bitcoin in the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve for at least 20 years, the bill also calls for other digital assets, including tokens like XRP, to be placed in the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile.
