Vance Calls for Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in US National Security Push

US Vice President JD Vance emphasized the importance of Bitcoin for the US government at the recent Bitcoin 2025 conference. He framed it as a geopolitical tool against China and highlighted a policy shift where seized Bitcoin will no longer be sold, but instead treated as a long-term national asset.

This move builds on an executive order from March 2025 establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Vance also disclosed his personal Bitcoin holdings, underscoring his commitment to the asset.

The policy change signals a broader US crypto strategy and positions Bitcoin as a key element in national security and economic policy.
