The US Senator Cynthia Lummis stated that certain divisions throughout the American military support the concept of a national Bitcoin reserve to deal with the threats from economic wars.
During a Bloomberg interview on June 3, Lummis said that some US generals, especially those that are based in Southeast Asia, support the concept of storing BTC as a part of a strategic geopolitical step.
“Everything we now have to do is to go looking for the present US military to seek out support for a strategic Bitcoin reserve,” said Lummis and added:
“There are generals, especially in Southeast Asia who consider that it’s important to have a strategic Bitcoin stock because we now have an economic war with China and we now have to organize for a weapon and ball war. But we want each.”
CoinTelegraph turned to the US Department of Defense to receive a comment, but received no answer on the time of publication.
Her remarks got here during a segment about tensions between China and the United States, because the country was in the middle of the Trump government's trade wars. Trump's tariffs initially stated for many US trading partners, but the federal government later suspended a lot of them, excluding those that aimed toward China. The two nations finally reached a brief trade agreement and loosened the tensions.

Trump was loud to make the United States a “World Capital of Krypto” in its second term within the White House. “If we don't do it, China will pick it up and China can have it or another person, but more than likely China,” he said to Bloomberg when he fought in 2024.
China has implemented a comprehensive ban on crypto activities since 2021 and has yet used blockchain technology on electricity projects similar to the digital currency of the central bank, the digital Yuan.
On May twenty eighth at Bitcoin 2025, the US Vice President JD Vance emphasized the geopolitical meaning of Bitcoin. According to him, the United States must maintain its leadership within the crypto industry to be able to remain competitive in the brand new digital financial landscape.
