The Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas closed with a series of announcements that reinforced Bitcoin’s growing influence across government, finance, and global markets.
From sovereign reserves to corporate investments, the four-day event showcased a clear shift: Bitcoin is no longer a fringe asset. It is being discussed as part of national policy, institutional portfolios, and global financial infrastructure.
US Vice President Holds BTC
One of the most notable moments came from US Vice President JD Vance. Speaking from the main stage, Vance revealed he personally owns Bitcoin and described it as a hedge against inflation and “bad policymaking.”
His remarks signaled a significant departure from the past administration’s regulatory approach.
Pakistan Launches National Bitcoin Reserve
Another historic announcement came from Pakistan. The government confirmed the formation of its first national Bitcoin reserve.
The initiative, announced by Crypto Council CEO Bilal Bin Saqib, marks Pakistan’s pivot toward crypto after years of regulatory uncertainty.

Meanwhile, Trump Media & Technology Group revealed a $2.5 billion capital raise to establish a Bitcoin treasury. CEO Devin Nunes called Bitcoin “the apex instrument of financial freedom.”

New York City Mayor Eric Adams proposed a bold plan to issue Bitcoin-backed municipal bonds, or “BitBonds.”
While still in early discussion, Adams said he would push for implementation despite legal concerns raised by city officials.
Football Giants PSG Announces Bitcoin Reserve
Paris Saint-Germain became the first major football club to publicly confirm holding Bitcoin in its treasury.
In the conference, PSG Labs director Pär Helgosson stated the move aligns with long-term strategies to diversify reserves and engage crypto-savvy fans.
Conference Breaks Attendance Record
Attendance at the event also broke records. Over 35,000 participants gathered, making it the largest Bitcoin conference to date.
The surge in turnout reflects a broadening community and rising interest from policymakers and institutional players.
BlackRock, MicroStrategy, and Marathon Double Down
Institutional adoption remained a dominant theme. BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF reached $71 billion in assets under management.
MicroStrategy added 13,390 BTC to its holdings, while Marathon Digital announced a $2 billion offering to buy more Bitcoin.
Michael Saylor Predicts $100 Trillion Market Cap
Michael Saylor used the conference to project Bitcoin’s long-term potential. He estimated the asset could generate $60 to $100 trillion in economic value.
Overall, Saylor suggested a future where Bitcoin rivals global capital markets.
Senator Lummis Revives Bitcoin Reserve Bill
Finally, Senator Cynthia Lummis reintroduced the BITCOIN Act. The proposal aimed at establishing a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
The bill would codify President Trump’s executive order and formally integrate Bitcoin into national reserves.
Taken together, these ten developments mark a pivotal moment in Bitcoin’s evolution.
From state-level adoption to institutional integration, Bitcoin 2025 demonstrated that the asset is entering a new phase—one defined not by speculation, but by strategy.
