WASHINGTON, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Vice President JD Vance underscored the critical role of the Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI) in shaping the future of digital asset policy during his keynote address at Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas. Vance said, “So when I talk about getting involved in politics, one of the things that you guys got to do is continue to give us feedback and continue to tell us the ways in which Bitcoin can play a positive role in the strategic future of this country. I know the Bitcoin Policy Institute is working on this very topic now.”
Building on this momentum, the Bitcoin Policy Institute is gearing up to host its highly anticipated Bitcoin Policy Summit in Washington on June 25: https://www.btcpolicysummit.org/

Bitcoin Policy Institute Executive Director Matthew Pines said, “Vice President Vance’s request for concrete guidance on Bitcoin‘s role in U.S. strategy shows how critical digital assets have become to winning the next phase of technological acceleration and great-power competition.”
“The Bitcoin Policy Institute is honored to receive this level of recognition for our work, and we look forward to delivering the strategic insights the Vice President has requested. At our Bitcoin Policy Summit in Washington on June 25, CIA Deputy Director Michael Ellis and other senior officials will examine how a dollar-anchored Bitcoin ecosystem can sharpen America’s edge amid rapid geopolitical change,” Pines said.
