VanEck's head of digital assets, Matthew Sigel, said sustainable Bitcoin reserve growth must happen gradually through Congressional bills. Building a permanent US strategic Bitcoin reserve would likely require targeted legislation rather than executive action, according to VanEck’s head of digital assets, Matthew Sigel.

He argued that such an approach would allow the reserve to grow organically over time. Sigel also highlighted the limitations of executive actions in achieving this goal: ...
