U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis recently revealed that some top U.S. military officials support the establishment of a national bitcoin (Bitcoin, BTC) strategic reserves in response to growing economic competition and potential conflict with China, highlighting the new role of cryptocurrencies in geopolitics Lummis told Bloomberg in early June 2025 (Bloomberg) According to the media, some US military generals in Southeast Asia believe that in the economic war with China, bitcoin strategic reserves are "crucial" and need to be prepared for a potential "gun war". This view emphasizes the equal importance of economic warfare and traditional military preparations. Some generals, especially in Southeast Asia, think it's important to have strategic bitcoin reserves because we're in an economic war with China and we have to be prepared for a shootout. "But we need both. A new view under the US-China wrestle? With the U.S.-China geo-economic and technological competition closely linked, Bitcoin's decentralized nature is seen as a tool to counter traditional financial powers in economic warfare. The U.S.-China economic rivalry has eased some tariffs since the trade war under former President Trump (Donald Trump), but the confrontation between the technology and financial sectors continues. In the past, several researchers and military personnel in the Pentagon have proposed to the US Department of Homeland Security and Washington with the Bitcoin network as a part of military defense, believing that the characteristics of the Bitcoin network can play an extreme role in digital defense in war, and the United States should ensure that the computing power of the Bitcoin network is controlled by the United States. As for the defense of the digital economy, although China banned bitcoin, it actively developed blockchain and central bank digital currency "digital yuan (e-CNY), aiming to strengthen digital financial control and reduce dependence on the US dollar. The move has prompted some U.S. policymakers to consider incorporating bitcoin into national strategies to balance China's influence in the digital space. Growing Support in the United States and Initial Legislative Trends There are similar voices in US political circles. Vice President J.D. Vance publicly stated at the Bitcoin 2025 conference: "It is in the national interest of the United States to maintain its leadership in innovation in the global cryptocurrency industry, and we must actively address the challenges of dominance that may arise from countries such as China in this emerging space." Senator Lummis has also proposed the "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act" (Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act), which proposes to buy up to 1 million bitcoins within five years, which is reported to be supported by Trump and regarded as part of the US crypto strategy. In addition, Arizona, Texas and New Hampshire are also considering relevant state-level legislation, indicating that the concept is gaining traction in the United States. Taken together, Lummis' disclosure reflects a new perception among decision-makers about the strategic value of digital assets. In the face of intensifying global geo-economic competition, Bitcoin is included in national security considerations in order to counter the threat of economic warfare and seek geopolitical advantages. Bitcoin's role has clearly evolved beyond a mere investment vehicle to a strategic asset. Related reports Trump bombs China's default and intends to sanction Chinese subsidiaries!
