โฌ๏ธ JPMorgan CEO Prioritizes National Security Over BTC
Jamie Dimon says the U.S. should stockpile tanks and drones, not Bitcoin.
At the Reagan Economic Forum, he argued that military strengthโnot cryptoโis what secures Americaโs global standing.
โWe shouldnโt be stockpiling bitcoins,โ Dimon said.
โWe should be stockpiling weapons, tanks, drones, and rare earths.โ
โฌ๏ธ Dimon vs Trumpโs Bitcoin Strategy
Dimonโs comments come in contrast to Donald Trumpโs executive order, which aims to build a Bitcoin reserve โ treating BTC like gold or oil.
๐น The initiative is still in early development.
๐น Advisors say it could boost the dollarโs strength long term.
Meanwhile, the Bitcoin Reserve Bill (Bitcoin ACT) is in early stages in the Senate but hasnโt advanced yet.
โฌ๏ธ Dimonโs Doubts Remainโฆ But So Does the Business Move
Despite his criticism, Dimon confirmed JPMorgan will soon let clients buy Bitcoin (via third parties).
โก๏ธ JPM wonโt custody BTC itself, sticking to a hands-off approach.
โก๏ธ This comes even after Dimon once called Bitcoin โworthlessโ and compared it to โtulip mania.โ
โฌ๏ธ Wall Street Still Warming Up to BTC
๐ข Morgan Stanley is preparing crypto trading (BTC & ETH) on E-Trade by 2026
๐ข Goldman Sachs and others already offer indirect BTC exposure through ETFs
โฌ๏ธ Final Take
Dimon draws a hard line between national defense and digital assets โ calling for stronger missile stockpiles over Bitcoin.
Yet behind the scenes, JPMorgan is opening the BTC gates for its clients, showing that even critics canโt ignore cryptoโs staying power.
