The Vice President of the USA admits to holding Bitcoin: "cryptocurrencies are a refuge against inflation".

Vice President JD Vance reaffirmed the pro-crypto stance of the Trump Administration and the strategic vision of Bitcoin for U.S. policy. He praised the past victories of the community and the legislative push, highlighting the GENIUS Act and the appeal of cryptocurrencies as a hedge against inflation. Vance emphasized the role of stablecoins in preserving the dominance of the dollar and warned that regulatory inaction could drive cryptocurrencies abroad.

Vice President JD Vance spoke at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference, discussing the plans of the Trump Administration for pro-crypto regulation in the future. The VP also confirmed holding a 'significant amount' of Bitcoin.

His comments touched on many topics, alternating between the history of past achievements and some future plans. Vance did not provide much new information, but reaffirmed the White House's commitment to the crypto industry.

"We need to start thinking about the long-term strategic implications of Bitcoin. Where I think Bitcoin is heading is as a strategically important asset for the United States in the next decade. It's one of the reasons we started the Bitcoin Reserve; we want to highlight the strategic importance of Bitcoin for the U.S.," Vance stated.

Vance spoke about the history of the pro-crypto political movement, identifying himself as a long-term Bitcoin holder. When he ran for the Senate in 2022, he expressed frustration over the relative lack of political organization within the community. However, in the intervening years, this landscape has changed dramatically.
