Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville Will Reintroduce a Bill Aimed at Allowing Americans to Add Cryptocurrency to Their Retirement Savings Plans

In a March 31 Fox News interview, Sen. Tuberville said he planned to reintroduce his “Financial Freedoms Act” legislation after two failed attempts to get the legislation through Congress in 2022 and 2023.

For the second time this year, Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville is set to reintroduce a bill that would allow Americans to add cryptocurrency to their retirement savings plans.

The Financial Freedom Act, which Tuberville first introduced in the US Senate in May 2022, proposed scaling back regulations with the Department of Labor over the types of investments used in 401(k) retirement plan fiduciaries.

At present, the types of investments that can be used in 401(k) plans are limited by the stipulations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). However, in a March 31 Fox News interview, Sen. Tuberville said he planned to reintroduce his “Financial Freedoms Act” legislation after two failed attempts to get the legislation through Congress in 2022 and 2023.

In announcing the bill, the Alabama senator said he wanted to help US President Donald Trump's perceived role as a “crypto president.”

"Give people a chance to breathe for once [...] let them do what they do best [which] is invest their money," said the senator.
