Vance said that because China opposes Bitcoin, the United States should strongly support Bitcoin~ and publicly stated that "China's cautious attitude towards Bitcoin should prompt the United States to embrace Bitcoin and establish a strategic advantage in the digital asset space."
China's regulatory caution has led it to "give up" the dominance of Bitcoin, creating a strategic window for the United States. He advocates that the U.S. should proactively fill this gap by incorporating Bitcoin into the national asset reserve system to consolidate dollar hegemony and compete for the high ground in digital finance. This echoes the establishment of the Trump administration's "cryptocurrency working group" and the "strategic Bitcoin reserve" plan.
Vance views Bitcoin as a tool for geopolitical competition: China is conservative → the U.S. is proactive → competing for financial discourse power in the digital age. In the short term, U.S. policies will accelerate the institutionalization of Bitcoin (e.g., the management scale of spot ETFs exceeding $50 billion); in the long term, the balance of the game between sovereign currencies and crypto assets needs to be observed. However, whether Bitcoin can truly function as a "strategic asset" still depends on the stability of regulatory implementation and the evolution of global market consensus.
