U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis has been officially confirmed as a speaker at Bitcoin 2026. A Republican senator from Wyoming, Lummis currently serves as Chair of the Senate Banking Subcommittee on Digital Assets — a role she was appointed to in January 2025 to lead the Banking Committee’s efforts on digital asset legislation. She has publicly held Bitcoin since 2013 and has spent her Senate tenure focused on establishing a regulatory and legislative framework for digital assets in the United States.

Her primary legislative effort has been the BITCOIN Act, formally titled the Boosting Innovation, Technology, and Competitiveness through Optimized Investment Nationwide Act, which she introduced in the U.S. Senate as Chair of the Senate Banking Subcommittee on Digital Assets. The bill authorizes the U.S. Treasury to acquire up to one million Bitcoin over a five-year period to stock a strategic reserve, with a mandatory 20-year holding period, and includes a proof of reserves requirement for quarterly public reporting on total holdings. Alongside the BITCOIN Act, Lummis was a co-sponsor of the 2025 GENIUS Act to regulate stablecoins and introduced legislation for a tax exemption on small Bitcoin transactions. More recently, she predicted the crypto market structure bill should advance out of the Senate Banking Committee by late April 2026, stating the talks have reached necessary compromises to move the legislation forward.

Lummis announced in December 2025 that she will not seek reelection in 2026. Her appearance at Bitcoin 2026 comes during the final stretch of her Senate term, with several pieces of legislation she has championed still working through Congress. As recently as February 2026, Lummis pressed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on digital asset taxation, including a potential de minimis exemption for small transactions, with Bessent offering to have Treasury’s Office of Tax Policy work with her team on guidance.

With her Senate chapter drawing to a close, Bitcoin 2026 offers a meaningful stage for Lummis to address the community that has watched her carry the Bitcoin policy torch in Washington for years. Few lawmakers have shown up to the conference year after year with active legislation in hand — and with the BITCOIN Act, the CLARITY Act, and stablecoin regulation all in motion simultaneously, her appearance in Las Vegas this April promises to be one of the most substantive policy conversations of the event.
