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 warned the crypto community to remain politically engaged or face potential neglect.

Vance stressed that even transformative technologies like Bitcoin aren’t exempt from policy impacts. “If you don’t engage in politics, politics will ignore you,” he said. “Bureaucratic decisions will affect valuable technologies.”

He praised the community’s growing activism, which has influenced national direction. Vance encouraged attendees to maintain this momentum into 2026 and beyond.

Bitcoin’s strategic role in national policy was also emphasized.Vance mentioned the launch of a government-backed Bitcoin Reserve under President Donald Trump. “About 50 million Americans own Bitcoin,” he noted. “We aim to highlight Bitcoin’s importance for the U.S. government.”

Comparing China’s anti-Bitcoin stance, Vance suggested the U.S. should embrace Bitcoin. “If China is moving away from Bitcoin, the U.S. should move towards it,” he stated.

the Bitcoin Reserve’s launch signals deeper crypto investment. “We want to recognize Bitcoin’s strategic value,” he said.”This initiative will boost Bitcoin’s role in the U.S.”
