Reserve

In a recent episode of the Unchained Podcast, Democratic Representative Ro Khanna emphasized that the U.S. government should keep seized Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset.&nbsp; 
Khanna believes this is a bipartisan issue, suggesting that Bitcoin could enhance the Federal Reserve’s reserves due to its potential for appreciation and help maintain the U.S.’s financial leadership.

Khanna pointed out that most seized Bitcoins come from illicit activities and are typically sold back into the market. However, he argues that holding onto them could be more beneficial. 
He plans to keynote a Bitcoin conference in Nashville alongside prominent figures like Donald Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy, marking a significant moment for Democrats involved in the crypto conversation. 
Khanna also highlighted Bitcoin’s advantages over gold, noting that it’s cheaper to store and less affected by foreign inflation. He believes that America should lead in this new asset class to set the rules of the market. 
In addition to advocating for Bitcoin, Khanna has been working on improving cryptocurrency regulations. He co-sponsored the FIT 21 bill to balance oversight between the CFTC and SEC, gaining support from over 70 Democrats.&nbsp; 
He aims to reshape the party’s approach to cryptocurrency, moving away from past hostility and towards a more positive stance on decentralization and innovation. 
As the crypto landscape evolves, Khanna’s push for strategic reserves and regulatory reform could significantly influence the future of digital assets in the U.S.
