1. U.S. Vice President Vance: “Bitcoin will become a strategically significant asset for the U.S. in the next decade.”
2. Eric Trump: “We are bringing Bitcoin to America, and America will win this cryptocurrency revolution. Cryptocurrency is the antidote to corruption. It makes everything cheaper, faster, safer, and more transparent, and makes the entire system more efficient.”
3. Donald Trump Jr.: “Financial democratization” is a fundamental principle of the goals hoped to be realized in this administration after world peace.”
4. Strategy founder Michael Saylor: “The 21 paths to wealth are: transparency, firm belief, courage, collaboration, capability, combination, citizenship, civility, company, focus, equity, credit, compliance, capitalization, communication, commitment, ability, adaptation, evolution, advocacy, generosity.”
5. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce: “When people can freely use something, it will ultimately be incorporated into traditional financial products. We need to consider how it interacts with our regulatory framework—but the key is to maintain people’s ability to transfer value according to their own wishes.”
6. Executive Director of the White House Bo Hines: “We are steadily moving towards becoming the world’s Bitcoin superpower. This is not about partisanship, but a revolution of the financial system.”
7. Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Rosie Rios: “The eyes of the world are upon us, and we must set the tone not only for our history but also for the future. For all of us, this is the American dream. It concerns the values upon which our nation was founded.”
8. U.S. Treasury Tyler Williams: “We are vigorously developing digital assets, and you will definitely see the U.S. become a global Bitcoin superpower.”
9. U.S. Representative Byron Donalds: “Bitcoin is a key asset because it has proven to be a store of value outside of fiat currency and central banks. President Trump is looking long-term—strategically recognizing the role of Bitcoin in national reserves.”
10. Wyoming Senator Lummis: “The problem over the past four years has largely been the hostile attitude of regulators toward digital assets. We have a debt of $37 trillion, and if we buy and hold 1 million Bitcoins for 20 years, we can reduce the debt by half, and we also have some underperforming assets that can be exchanged for Bitcoin without additional borrowing.”
11. New York City Mayor Eric Adams: “For the first time in history, this city should have a financial instrument designed specifically for Bitcoin holders. I believe we need a ‘Bitcoin Bond,’ and I will work hard to promote and push for the launch of ‘Bitcoin Bonds’ in New York.”
12. President Trump’s 2024 campaign co-manager Chris LaCivita: “This country is built on the entrepreneurial spirit of Americans, and we are at the forefront of building and planning the future of currency.”
13. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino: “We are committed to reinvesting a significant amount of funds into Bitcoin. Our company currently holds over 100,000 Bitcoins. By the end of this year, Tether will become the largest Bitcoin miner in the world, even surpassing all listed companies, which is very realistic.”
14. BitGo CEO Mike Belshe: “Whether you’re talking about dollars or Bitcoin, the key to a good stablecoin is its liquidity in the global market.”
15. Coinbase Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad: “Lawmakers now recognize the need to support innovation rather than stifle it.”
16. Bitwise Asset Management CEO Hunter Horsley: “In the U.S., wealth management firms manage between $30 trillion and $60 trillion in assets, and if these firms can ultimately allocate 1% of their clients’ funds to this space, they will help them seize hundreds of billions of dollars in opportunities.”
17. Blockstream co-founder and CEO Adam Back: “BTC can reach $1 million. But for retail investors, it is still too early.”
18. Strike founder and CEO Jack Mallers: “As Bitcoin matures, its volatility will decrease. Bitcoin’s volatility has reached a level equal to that of Tesla stock risk. We should not be paying double-digit interest rates on loans.”
19. Economist and author Saifedean Ammous: “Tether is a transitional monetary system, the US dollar is caught in a downward spiral, while Bitcoin, with its ‘digital ascent technology’, will continue to rise.”
20. VanEck Digital Assets Head Siegel: “Establishing a permanent U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve may require targeted legislation rather than executive action. The most effective way to increase the U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve is through targeted modifications to congressional budget legislation.”
21. Miles Jennings: “The connection between the traditional financial system and Bitcoin, stablecoins, and everything else will truly be paved by stablecoin legislation.”
