The senator from Wyoming plans to buy more BTC if the price drops further.
United States Sen. Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming took advantage of a deeply discounted Bitcoin (BTC) price this week by adding to her holdings.Â
In the wake of yet another major price correction for crypto assets, Lummis told Fox News on Wednesday that sheâs âexcited to buy the Bitcoin dip.â

When asked about Bitcoinâs rapid price decline, Lummis said:
âIâm really excited about it because as soon as it drops a little more, Iâm going to buy some more.â
Lummis compared Bitcoinâs drop to the performance of one of her favorite stocks, United Rentals. âI bought it,â Lummis said of United Rentals, âand it dropped like a rock. I held onto it, and my gosh, itâs performed beautifully over the years for me,â she said, adding:
âI see Bitcoin doing the same kind of thing because the fundamentals are good.â
Lummis is one of the most vocal advocates of Bitcoin in the U.S. Senate. Earlier this year, she launched the Financial Innovation Caucus to educate fellow lawmakers about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. At the time, Lummis said she will work with the caucus to address false narratives about cryptocurrencies, including their association with money laundering and other financial crimes.

As Cointelegraph reported, Sen. Lummis attended this yearâs Bitcoin 2021 conference in Miami, where she discussed the importance of encouraging crypto innovation. She was joined by Rep. Warren Davidson of Ohio in a panel titled âBringing Bitcoin Innovation Home to America.â
After plunging below $29,000 earlier this week, Bitcoin's price appears to have found support above $30,000 again. At the time of writing, the digital currency was up 5.5% at $33,700.
