The Bitcoin 2025 conference, held in Las Vegas, has become a real landmark event for the cryptocurrency world. This time, the discussions went far beyond the technological and financial aspects. During the four-day event, several major statements were made that confirm that bitcoin is no longer a marginal asset, becoming a full-fledged element of the global financial infrastructure.
The Vice President of the United States and Bitcoin
One of the most high-profile moments was the statement by the Vice President of the United States, J. D. Vance, who announced that he personally owns bitcoin. He called it "insurance against inflation" and "bad policy," which, against the background of negative statements by the previous administration, was an important step towards the adoption of cryptocurrencies at the highest level. This is not just technology support, it is a signal of a possible change in the approach to regulating cryptocurrencies in the United States.
Pakistan and National Bitcoin Reserves
Amid the international recognition of bitcoin, Pakistan has taken a step that could set a precedent for other countries. During the conference, the creation of the world's first national bitcoin reserve was announced. This decision, announced by Bilal Bin Saqib, CEO of the Crypto Council, underscores the government's serious attitude towards cryptocurrencies, despite years of regulatory uncertainty.
The United Kingdom and tax reform
Equally interesting was the proposal of politician Nigel Farage to reform the tax system in relation to cryptocurrencies. His bill, in particular, provides for a reduction in the capital gains tax on cryptocurrencies to 10% and protection of users from de-banking. It is believed that such measures can significantly improve the investment climate in the UK and make it more attractive to cryptocurrency companies.
Cryptocurrencies at the corporate and city levels
Statements by large companies and cities also aroused considerable interest. Trump Media & Technology Group has announced the creation of a $2.5 billion bitcoin treasury, which demonstrates the serious attitude towards cryptocurrencies from major players such as MicroStrategy.
New York Mayor Eric Adams has proposed issuing municipal bonds backed by bitcoins, which, if implemented, would be the first step towards integrating cryptocurrencies into the urban financial sector.
In addition, the French football club Paris Saint-Germain also confirmed the presence of bitcoins in its treasury, which once again underlines the growing interest of large corporations in cryptocurrencies as a tool for asset diversification.
Attendance records and institutional investments
The Bitcoin 2025 conference broke all records in terms of the number of participants — more than 35,000 people. This once again confirms that interest in bitcoin from both individual investors and large institutional players continues to grow. Institutional giants such as BlackRock, MicroStrategy, and Marathon Digital continue to increase their assets in bitcoin, making it an increasingly significant element of the global financial ecosystem.
Forecasts for the future
Michael Saylor, founder of MicroStrategy, used the conference to outline ambitious forecasts. According to him, in the future, the market capitalization of bitcoin may reach from 60 to 100 trillion dollars, which puts it on a par with the world's largest financial markets.
A Turning Point for Cryptocurrencies
An important development was the revival of the Bitcoin Backup Storage Bill proposed by Senator Cynthia Lummis. The bill, if passed, would give the President of the United States the right to manage the strategic bitcoin reserve, which would undoubtedly be a historic moment in the development of cryptocurrencies in the United States.
The Bitcoin 2025 conference, with its scale, participants and announcements, clearly showed that the cryptocurrency, and in particular bitcoin, is entering a new phase of its evolution. This is no longer just a tool for speculation, but a key element of a long-term financial strategy for individual investors, countries and corporations alike.
Is it possible that Bitcoin will become an integral part of global reserves in the near future?
