U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance will take the stage at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference, which will be held in Las Vegas from May 27 to 29, 2025. This speech will be the first public address in which a U.S. vice president openly supports Bitcoin. This event, which holds significant symbolic importance for the crypto world, shows the growing influence of Bitcoin in politics.
Historic Conference, Historic Speech
Bitcoin 2025 is a massive event expected to attract more than 30,000 participants from around the world. Vance, who will be part of the conference's “Code + Country” sessions, will deliver his keynote speech on the morning of May 28 at 9:00 AM.
This speech is considered a continuation of the Trump administration’s clear stance on crypto. Coming exactly one year after President Donald Trump’s speech at the 2024 Bitcoin conference, this move demonstrates the ongoing public support for Bitcoin from the White House.
Vance's Approach to Bitcoin
During his tenure in the Senate, Vance displayed an open attitude toward crypto assets and drew attention with his views on financial sovereignty. He frequently cited incidents such as the freezing of bank accounts in Canada in 2022 as examples of the control risks posed by centralized systems. He also publicly criticized the SEC’s strict enforcement actions against crypto companies.
According to federal financial disclosures, J.D. Vance’s personal Bitcoin holdings are reported to be between $250,000 and $500,000. This positions him not only as a political supporter but also as an active investor who believes in crypto assets.
Broad Participation, Strong Messages
The Bitcoin 2025 conference is not limited to Vance’s speech. The event will also feature appearances by Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., White House Artificial Intelligence and Crypto Advisor David Sacks, Strategy Board Chairman Michael Saylor, and Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht.
This broad participation reveals how the crypto world has become a growing force not only in technology but also in the fields of economy and politics.
