In a title speech at today’s 2025 Bitcoin Conference, U.S. Vice President JD Vance announced the growing role of Bitcoin in national policies and promised federal support for the new era under the Trump administration. “It’s great to be with Bitcoin for $108K and become the vice president of the United States,” Vance said. “This is not a meeting of people. It’s a movement.”
Vance thanked David Bailey, as well as key figures such as Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, who stressed: “They took a big step and everyone else followed.” He also shouted Coinbase to attend the event.
In stark contrast to past administrations, Vance is clear: “All we do with the Trump administration in terms of digital asset policy is just the beginning. Cryptocurrencies finally have champions and allies in the White House.”
Vance highlights the grassroots energy of the Bitcoin community: “It’s determined by the people, not unelected bureaucrats.”
He raised three key priorities for the administration, the first being widely adopted – “Fifty million Americans own Bitcoin. I think that will be 100 million times.” The second is legislative support – “We are optimistic that the Senate will pass the Clean Genius Act. Stable people will not threaten the dollar – they are the power multiplier of the economic mission.” Third, clear regulations – “We need a transparent regulatory framework to bring Bitcoin into the mainstream economy.”
“Encryption is a hedge against bad decision-making in Washington,” Vance said more worried about the agency’s over-the-counterfeiting.
He vowed to get protection and partnerships in Washington, “You deserve the respect and support of the government, not trying to dismantle your bureaucracy. We are ending the weaponization of federal agencies in this community.”
“Bitcoin is digital gold, but you don’t have it unless you’re involved,” concludes Vance, discussing how Bitcoin is staying, but only if Americans are involved and establish the industry. “If Bitcoin is strategically important to the United States, we will make the right decision, it depends on you being part of the conversation.”
The message from Vance is very clear. Bitcoin is in the hands of the American people, and it depends on the lasting impact of citizens on it.
