She said she feels like a \u201csprinter in a marathon\u201d and added that \u201cthe energy required doesn\u2019t match up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lummis was among the first and most vocal politicians to openly support bitcoin when most of the US administration was against the asset class. Some previous reports <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-in-us-senate-new-wyoming-senator-bought-btc-in-2013\/\">indicated<\/a> that she first bought bitcoin back in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>She continued accumulating throughout the years, with filings from 2021 <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/us-senator-cynthia-lummis-bought-up-to-100000-worth-of-btc-in-august\/\">showing<\/a> that he bought somewhere between $50,000 and $100,000 worth of the cryptocurrency. The senator has made multiple pro-BTC comments over the years, including <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/us-senator-cythia-lummis-bitcoin-political-debate\/\">predicting<\/a> that it will become an important player for a long time to come.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, she <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/cynthia-lummis-reaffirms-vision-for-a-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-in-america\/\">championed<\/a> the idea of a US strategic Bitcoin reserve. She has introduced numerous pro-crypto bills in the US, but her push for a strategic Bitcoin reserve has perhaps become the most widely praised and discussed.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoins-strongest-ally-in-the-us-senate-is-leaving-office\/\">Bitcoin\u2019s Strongest Ally in the US Senate Is Leaving Office<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cynthia Lummis, an American attorney and politician serving as the junior United States senator from Wyoming since 2021, said she will not seek reelection.
