Dennis Porter revealed that the Democrats received the highest number of letters, totaling 1,333, while Republicans received 850 letters, and Independents received 41 letters. This distribution reflects a wide-ranging appeal and a shared interest in exploring the potential of Bitcoin as a national reserve asset. 
Meanwhile, the proposed Bitcoin reserve fund aims to position the United States at the forefront of the evolving global financial landscape. Also, proponents argue that establishing a reserve fund in Bitcoin could hedge against inflation, enhance the country’s financial security, and signal a forward-thinking approach to economic policy.

Lummis delved into the <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/joe-biden-pushes-for-30-crypto-mining-tax-once-again/">evolving landscape of Bitcoin mining</a>, nioting the emergence of innovative approaches to energy generation by miners. She highlighted two main facets of Bitcoin mining: grid stabilization through utility-scale operations and energy harvesting. 
Senator Lummis’ remarks shed light on the intricate interplay between politics and cryptocurrency regulation, emphasizing the pivotal role of upcoming elections in<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/research-reveals-that-bitcoin-mining-could-make-us-more-energy-independent/"> shaping the trajectory of crypto policy</a> in the United States.

Recall that last month, Lummis released a report that argued against Biden’s mining tax. She also shared a report revealing the environmental and economic benefits of the Bitcoin mining infrastructure to the United States’ energy grid.&nbsp; These facilities, which represent large, flexible electrical loads, can be <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/hut-8-starts-construction-on-63mw-bitcoin-mining-site-in-texas/">instrumental in balancing and redistributing energy</a> during peak demand periods.&nbsp; 
However,<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/senator-lummis-advocates-against-proposed-30-tax-on-bitcoin-miners/"> Lummis criticized the government’s 30% excise tax </a>on the energy consumed by the miners. She said, “The Biden administration’s dangerous scheme to tax Bitcoin miners is a blatant attack on innovation, energy abundance, and American excellence.” 
One of the key arguments in Lummis’ report is that the proposed 30% tax would harm the environment by discouraging Bitcoin miners from pursuing sustainable energy sources and energy recycling techniques.
