Sign InAdmiral Samuel Paparo, Commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM), recently testified before the Senate on Bitcoin's strategic value in the rivalry with China. In a significant operational shift, the U.S. military is now reportedly operating an active Bitcoin node as part of ongoing network security trials. This technical deployment follows the appointment of Jason Lowery as a Special Assistant to advise on decentralized consensus networks and Proof-of-Work mechanisms. Simultaneously, a legislative push in Congress is advocating for the localization of Bitcoin mining hardware to secure domestic supply chains.
