Introducing Congressman Nicholas Begich, An OG Bitcoiner
Last Tuesday, Congressman Nick Begich (R-AK) introduced The BITCOIN Act of 2025 to the U.S. House of Representatives. He made the announcement that he’d be doing so at the Bitcoin For America summit.
The bill, a revised version of a bill that Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) introduced to the Senate last year, stipulates that the United States government acquire 1 million bitcoin for its Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and protects the right of U.S. citizens to self custody their bitcoin.
As Rep. Begich spoke about the importance of the bill at the summit, I got the impression that he was acting as more than just an opportunist, a politician simply striking while Bitcoin is a hot topic in the U.S. government, but as someone who actually has a deep understanding of Bitcoin.
Turns out, I was right. The Congressman has held his own bitcoin in self custody for over 12 years now and very much understands
