President Trump

Brazilian legislators in the Chamber of Deputies have proposed allocating 5% of the nation’s $370 billion treasury to a Bitcoin strategic reserve. 
The proposed Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank">BTC</a>) bill would <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1861463534804091359" target="_blank">limit</a> Brazil’s reserves to approximately $18.5 billion worth of the world’s most valuable cryptocurrency, currently valued at $1.83 trillion. 
Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of its National Congress, must pass the bill before it moves to the Federal Senate, the upper house. If lawmakers in the Federal Senate back the proposal, it will be sent to Brazil’s President for approval to become law. 
Strategic Bitcoin reserves have gained traction among various governments and jurisdictions in recent months, touted as an economic safeguard and political rallying point.
