Senator Lummis Connects Bitcoin to US Debt Crisis as CLARITY Act Progresses in Senate

Senator Cynthia Lummis is advocating for Bitcoin as a strategic hedge against the U.S. national debt, which currently stands at approximately $39.2 trillion, as the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act advances towards a Senate vote. The bill, which cleared the House in July 2025 and the Senate Banking Committee in May 2026, aims to establish clear regulatory lines for digital assets, splitting jurisdiction between the SEC and CFTC, and providing legal footing for stablecoins and tokenization frameworks.
