Insights from U.S. Military Experts"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Translation result<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin (BTC) has moved further into national-security discussions on Capitol Hill. Adm. Samuel Paparo, commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, told lawmakers Bitcoin is a technology with &#8220;huge potential&#8221; for cybersecurity and strategic use.<\/p>\n<p>On the 13th (local time), the Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI) and industry sources reported Adm. Paparo told a Senate hearing that Bitcoin is not merely an asset but a computer-engineering tool combining cryptography, blockchain and proof-of-work (PoW). He said, &#8220;Bitcoin is real, and supporting every instrument of state power is a good thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Backdrop: China containment and talks about U.S. strategic assets<\/h3>\n<p>Adm. Paparo\u2019s comments came during questioning by Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who framed U.S.-China competition as both military and monetary. Tuberville said a major Chinese Communist Party currency think tank studied Bitcoin as a strategic asset last year and noted that former President Trump had pushed for a strategic reserve.<\/p>\n<p>Paparo described Bitcoin as a peer-to-peer, &#8220;zero-trust&#8221; value-transfer system and emphasized that it matters beyond its economic function \u2014 for cybersecurity and power projection. He did not offer specific policy proposals at the hearing.<\/p>\n<p>The remarks signal a shift in Washington\u2019s view of Bitcoin. Where debate once focused on price volatility and speculation, policymakers and analysts increasingly view Bitcoin through the lens of digital infrastructure and national security. The Bitcoin Policy Institute characterized the moment as recognition of Bitcoin as a strategic tool on the global stage.<\/p>\n<p>Market analysts say such comments are more likely to raise Bitcoin\u2019s institutional standing over the long term than to move prices immediately. At the time, Bitcoin (BTC) was trading around 77,926 USD (approximately 103,901,333 KRW). The won-to-dollar exchange rate stood at 1,478.90 KRW per USD.<\/p>\n<p> <i><b>TP AI Notice<\/b> We used a TokenPost.ai-based language model to summarize the article.
