The American Reserve Modernization Act (ARMA) would authorize the U.S. Treasury to acquire up to 200,000 bitcoin per year for five years, targeting a reserve of 1 million BTC.

The bill was introduced Wednesday by Rep. Nick Begich with 16 original cosponsors. It is a rebranding and expansion of the original BITCOIN Act co-introduced last year by Begich and Senator Cynthia Lummis. It would codify Trump's March 2025 executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve into permanent law that cannot be reversed by a future president.

The bill classifies bitcoin as a "Tier 1" strategic reserve asset, putting it on the same legal footing as gold. A separate digital asset stockpile would hold other federally owned crypto.

All acquisitions must be budget-neutral. The funding mechanism is revaluing Federal Reserve gold certificates from their current statutory price of $42.22 per ounce, set in 1973, to current market prices. That gap generates hundreds of billions in accounting gains without new taxpayer debt.

The bill also ends the practice of auctioning off seized bitcoin. All future seizures would be transferred directly to the Strategic Reserve instead of being liquidated by the U.S. Marshals Service. Existing government holdings would be consolidated into a single audited ledger.

Bitcoin in the reserve would be held for a minimum of 20 years. The bill establishes federal custody standards including geographic distribution of private keys across air-gapped facilities, multi-signature governance requiring authorization from the Treasury, the Fed, and an independent third agency, and investment in "quantum-resistant cryptographic upgrades."

Rep. Pat Harrigan, one of the cosponsors, said "The United States government already holds billions in seized bitcoin with no coherent strategy for managing it, and that needs to change."

🚨THE FBI CREATED A FAKE CRYPTOCURRENCY.. LISTED IT ON UNISWAP.. HIRED MARKET MAKERS TO PUMP IT.. THEN ARRESTED EVERYONE WHO SAID YES..

THIS IS THE CRAZIEST LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATION IN CRYPTO HISTORY!!!

The FBI built an actual ERC-20 token on Ethereum called NexFundAI.. 100 billion token supply.. A professional website.. Whitepapers promising "passive income through AI-powered investing"..

It looked exactly like every other crypto project.. Because that was the point..

Undercover agents posed as the founding team.. Then reached out to professional market-making firms and said "we need you to fake our trading volume"..

Every single firm said yes..

Here's what they recorded..

Gotbit.. A firm run by a 26-year-old Russian who publicly bragged in 2019 that he built a business faking trade volumes.. His team kept internal spreadsheets with columns literally labeled "fake volume" vs "market volume"..

When asked how fast they could pump NexFundAI's volume to $1 million per day.. They said "6 hours.. It will cost about $200"..

$200 to fake $1 million in daily trading volume..

MyTrade.. Run by a guy who called himself "the mastermind".. He explained the exact psychology of the scam on camera..

"We make the chart look like a really nice roller coaster ride.. That's where people jump in.. We have to make them lose money in order to make profit"..

He said that on a recorded FBI video call..

CLS Global.. A Dubai-based firm.. Their bots generated 98% of NexFundAI's total trading volume.. When the FBI asked if they could sync fake volume spikes with fake news announcements.. They said absolutely..

ZM Quant.. Bots executing 10 to 20 trades per minute through dozens of wallets to look organic..

All of them knew it was fraud.. All of them did it anyway.. All of it was recorded..

And the clients were even worse..

Saitama.. A meme coin that hit $7.5 billion market cap.. The founders coordinated buys through private Telegram chats.. Sent "pump it" memes while manipulating the price.. Then dumped on retail investors..

$7.5 billion.. Built entirely on fake volume.. Every penny of real money came from retail investors who thought the momentum was organic..

One founder left Saitama and started Robo Inu.. Used Gotbit again.. Another launched VZZN.. Same playbook..

Lillian Finance.. Founder claimed to be a defense contractor who addressed Congress.. Marketed the token as funding children's hospitals.. Pocketed everything..

When the FBI shut it down.. They seized $25 million in one day.. 18 people indicted across the US, UK, and Portugal.. The CEO of Gotbit was arrested in Portugal and extradited.. Sentenced to 8 months plus $23 million forfeiture..

But here's the part that broke my brain..

Real people bought NexFundAI..

The FBI's fake token.. With zero utility.. Zero real developers.. Created solely to catch criminals.. Attracted real retail investors because the fake volume made the chart look bullish..

When the FBI pulled the liquidity to end the operation.. Those people lost real money.. On a government-issued token..

The FBI had to set up a restitution portal to pay them back..

And it gets worse..

Within 24 hours of the DOJ announcing the sting.. Someone cloned the FBI's exact smart contract.. Launched a copycat token.. Rode the viral momentum.. And made $127,000 in a single day..

Using the exact same manipulation tactics the FBI just arrested 18 people for..

Then in 2026.. The FBI did it again.. New token called Lexobit.. 10 more arrests.. Including operators extradited from Singapore..

IRS forensics showed that in one firm's trading.. 1,209 out of 1,221 consecutive transactions went straight back to wallets the firm controlled.. 99% circular..

The FBI proved what everyone in crypto suspected..

The volume is fake.. The charts are painted.. The momentum is manufactured..

And every time you buy a token because "the chart looks bullish".. You might be the exit liquidity.

Very exciting developments coming out of Capitol Hill.

Stay tuned! 👀

Fun fact of the day!

Illegal aliens contribute about $31 billion in tax revenue per year, according to a report by FAIR.

But they cost Americans an estimated $182 billion per year.

Never let a Democrat claim illegals aren't a drain on the economy.

The irony is fascinating:

The organ that works nonstop for your entire life is also one of the least likely organs to get cancer.

Why?

Because most cancers arise in tissues that constantly divide and replace themselves.

Heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) are different. After birth, they become highly specialized and enter a near "non-dividing" state. Very low cell division = far fewer chances for DNA replication errors and cancer-causing mutations.

Compare that to:
• Skin → constantly renewing
• Colon → rapid turnover
• Bone marrow → continuous cell production
• Lungs → repeated toxin exposure

These tissues are mutation hotspots.

The heart also exists in a unique environment:
• Constant mechanical motion
• Extremely high blood flow
• Specialized metabolism

All of this likely makes tumor formation more difficult.

But rare does NOT mean impossible.

Primary heart cancers do exist, including:
• Cardiac angiosarcoma
• Rhabdomyosarcoma
• Primary cardiac lymphoma

They are just extraordinarily uncommon in medicine.

So SNL dusted off Matt Damon to come back and mock Justice Kavanaugh, but not a single Eric Swalwell joke, huh? Interesting.

10% federal income tax on all Americans.
3% state income tax on all Americans.
No exceptions.
No write offs.
All other taxation illegal.

Simple, and more than enough if we stop spending money on dumb shit, stop funding illegals, and crack down on social safety net abuse.

Terrible: Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was warned about the stadium's blinding sun issue but insisted he wanted an indoor stadium with an outdoor aesthetic.

Nothing short of utter incompetence 🤦‍♂️
