A recent Bitcoin For America summit hosted by the Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI) highlighted the need for the United States to embrace Bitcoin and lead in its adoption. The event followed President Trump's executive order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the first-ever White House Crypto Summit. The speakers at the summit emphasized that Bitcoin benefits not only America but the entire world. The director of BPI stated that the goal of the summit was to help people understand how Bitcoin benefits America and the world. It was argued that Bitcoin represents freedom money and that America should lead in its adoption. The chairman of Strategy Executive emphasized that the U.S. should acquire as much Bitcoin as possible to secure digital supremacy and to tap into the trillions of dollars in commerce flowing over the Bitcoin network. An entrepreneur further argued that the rate of return on holding Bitcoin for a long period is now the new hurdle rate for high-risk investments, and that Bitcoin embodies American values. The executive director of BPI flagged the increasing fragility of U.S. debt markets and the recognition of Bitcoin as "digital gold" by President Trump's executive order. The summit also saw the announcement of the proposed Bitcoin Act of 2025 in the U.S. House, which aims to acquire 1 million Bitcoin and protect the right of individuals to self-custody their Bitcoin without expense to taxpayers. Democratic politicians also expressed the need for bipartisan support of Bitcoin, as it can create financial empowerment for people globally. The CEO of Strike concluded the summit by stating that the establishment of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the proposed Bitcoin Act represent an economic shift and a return to American values. Overall, the summit called for the United States to embrace Bitcoin and lead the way in its adoption.
