BREAKING: Republican Bill Aims to Make Trump's Bitcoin and Crypto 401K Order Federal Law

Crypto just took another step toward the mainstream.

Republican Rep. Troy Downing has introduced The Retirement Investment Choice Act - a bill that would turn President Trump’s crypto 401(k) executive order into federal law.

If passed, it would give Trump’s August order - Executive Order 14330 - the full force of statute, permanently allowing 401(k) providers to offer exposure to “alternative assets” including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital investments.

Downing called it a revolution in retirement planning:

The bill already has four Republican co-sponsors - Byron Donalds, Buddy Carter, Warren Davidson, and Barry Moore - and aims to cement Trump’s push to open up the $25 trillion U.S. retirement savings industry to crypto.

Under the executive order, plan fiduciaries can offer access to private equity, real estate, commodities, and digital assets - as long as they determine it’s an “appropriate opportunity” for retirement growth.

Analysts say codifying the order would remove the risk of future administrations rolling it back.

One insider told The Block:

The bill comes just months after the Labor Department scrapped Biden-era guidance that warned against crypto exposure in retirement plans.

Since then, momentum has surged - nine lawmakers even wrote to the SEC urging it to accelerate implementation of the order.

And if this legislation clears Congress, it could open the floodgates.

Roughly 90 million Americans currently hold 401(k)s, representing $9.3 trillion in retirement savings.

Even a small allocation to digital assets could channel billions into Bitcoin and crypto ETFs overnight.

Bitwise’s head of European research, André Dragosch, said it plainly back in August:

For now, the market is watching.

The U.S. government may be partially shut down, but the crypto policy machine isn’t slowing.

If the bill passes, it wouldn’t just reshape retirement investing - it would lock Bitcoin into America’s financial future. 🚀

It might feel like you’re late to Bitcoin.

But here’s some perspective.

Bitcoin isn’t even close to catching gold yet:

Even after the ETFs, even after the melt-up - we’re still barely scratching the surface.

And yet? It’s already 8% the size of gold:

Now ask yourself this:

How long until digital gold - a commodity with superior qualities in every way - closes that gap?

Bitcoin is:

In his latest interview, Matthew Pines - a respected Bitcoin and macro analyst who advises the Bitcoin Policy Institute on national security and digital asset infrastructure - laid out how he sees Bitcoin vs Gold playing out:

That’s the real perspective.

If he’s right, the biggest wealth transfer in history hasn’t even really started. 🏆

P.S As we’ve pointed out before, with Gold prices going vertical this year, guess what usually follows…

Let’s check in on one of our favourite metrics: Bitcoin’s supply last active 1+ years ago.

It’s a simple but powerful signal - tracking how much BTC has remained untouched as a percentage of total circulating supply.

Here’s the logic:

Here’s the latest supply breakdown vs. two weeks ago:

More than 61% of all Bitcoin still hasn’t moved in over a year - a powerful signal of long-term conviction.

But the subtle shift tells a story:

Older coins (2–3 years) are thinning slightly as some long-term holders trim profits, while newer cohorts are stepping in and holding tight. (Likely buying the dip…)

It’s a healthy rotation - not a sign of weakness. The base of true believers remains solid.

When supply this tight meets a wave of demand… that’s when markets ignite. 💎🔥
