The Bitcoin Conference 2025 in Las Vegas concluded with a series of announcements affirming Bitcoin's increasingly significant influence in government, finance, and the global market.
From national reserves to corporate investments, this four-day event demonstrated a clear shift: Bitcoin is no longer a marginal asset. It is being discussed as part of national policy, institutional investment portfolios, and global financial infrastructure.

One of the most notable moments came from US Vice President JD Vance. Speaking from the main stage, Vance revealed he owns Bitcoin and described it as an inflation hedge and a "bad policy."

Trump Media Invests in Bitcoin

Senator Lummis Revives Bitcoin Reserve Bill
Finally, Senator Cynthia Lummis reintroduced the BITCOIN Act. This proposal aims to establish a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

From state-level acceptance to institutional integration, Bitcoin 2025 has proven that this asset is entering a new phase—no longer defined by speculation, but by strategy.
