U.S. Military Commander: Bitcoin a Critical Instrument for National Security
The U.S. military commander, Admiral Samuel Paparo, unexpectedly referred to Bitcoin as a vital instrument for national security during a U.S. Senate meeting on Wednesday (22/4/2026). Paparo emphasized that Bitcoin is no longer just a speculative asset but a zero-trust system that provides America with an absolute cyber advantage in winning the geopolitical competition against China.
The significant implication lies in the proof-of-work mechanism, which, according to Paparo, can impose high costs on opponents in cyber warfare, similar to the deterrent function of conventional military assets. This recognition shifts Bitcoin's status from a financial commodity to a strategic defense tool crucial for securing the nation's digital infrastructure from enemy attacks.
This move strengthens Donald Trump's policy stance regarding the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve initiated since 2025. With the Senate's push to acquire one million BTC, Bitcoin is now officially viewed as a "Digital Fort Knox" that guarantees both economic sovereignty and U.S. cybersecurity. Paparo's testimony sends a strong signal that in the future, a country's military strength will also be measured by its mastery of the Bitcoin network.
