U.S. VP Urges Crypto Community to Stay Politically Active
U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance highlighted Bitcoin’s significance in U.S. policy during the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas. He stressed the need for the crypto community to remain politically engaged.
Vance warned that unless the crypto community participates in politics, it risks being overlooked. “What happens in the bureaucracy will impact even the most valuable technologies,” he said.He praised the community’s activism in 2024 and urged them to keep the momentum going.
He believes transformational technologies like Bitcoin won’t escape policy decisions. “Get involved in politics or face being ignored,” he stated. He credited the community’s activism for shaping national direction and encouraged continued involvement.
Bitcoin reserve’s launch under President Trump signals deeper crypto investment. With about 50 million Americans owning Bitcoin, Vance sees its strategic importance for the U.S. government. He noted, “If China is moving away from Bitcoin, the U.S. should embrace it.” This stance contrasts with China’s anti-Bitcoin policies.
He sees Bitcoin as crucial for the U.S. “we want to highlight bitcoin’s strategic value,” Vance explained. He urged attendees to carry this forward to 2026 and beyond. “We must recognize Bitcoin’s role in national policy,” he added. This move aims to counter China’s anti-Bitcoin stance. The government-backed Bitcoin Reserve is a step in this direction.
