During a Senate hearing, Admiral Samuel Paparo, commander of the US Indo-Pacific Command, confirmed that his teams are running a full node on the Bitcoin network. The goal is not to mine BTC or speculate on an imminent <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-news\/binance-altcoin-volume\/\">bull run<\/a><\/strong>, but to use the protocol as a <strong>cutting-edge cybersecurity tool.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">JUST IN: \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 Four-star military officer Admiral Samuel Paparo confirms the USA is running a Bitcoin node.<br><br>&quot;We have a node on the Bitcoin network right now.

According to the admiral, this decentralized architecture offers a &#8220;zero-trust&#8221; transfer of value capable of securing military data. This technical validation by one of the most powerful institutions in the world is an extremely <strong>promising signal for the fundamentals and the future of the network<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n\n<p>&#8220;We use it to monitor, and we are conducting a number of operational tests to secure and protect networks using the Bitcoin protocol.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n<p>While the crypto market sometimes faces attacks linked to uncertainties about its future amidst the quantum threat, this announcement is a game-changer. In this context, Bitcoin is no longer perceived merely as digital gold, but as a national security asset. This massive institutional recognition could very well attract a new wave of capital looking to position itself ahead of the next <strong>rally<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-strategic-tool-against-china-to-dominate-cyberspace\">A Strategic Tool Against China to Dominate Cyberspace?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This revelation comes amid a tense geopolitical climate, particularly concerning China. Senator <strong>Tommy Tuberville<\/strong> also highlighted the importance of this technology in <strong>the Sino-American rivalry.<\/strong> By running a node, the US military is no longer just observing: it is actively participating in the network to test its cyber defense capabilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Maybe the next step is China and the US fighting through Bitcoin like Jason Lowery told us.

If the United States begins to integrate Bitcoin into its strategic arsenal, buying pressure could intensify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NEW: Bitcoiner and Softwar author Jason Lowery has accepted a new role as Special Assistant and direct advisor to the Commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command.<br><br>USINDOPACOM is where the U.S. Joint Force is confronting 4 of the 5 most consequential military threats to the United\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/l3CFHbjMrQ\">pic.twitter.com\/l3CFHbjMrQ<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Bitcoin News (@BitcoinNewsCom) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BitcoinNewsCom\/status\/2003513595808661875?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 23, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, it is worth noting that this is an idea popularized by Jason Lowery years ago. Indeed, Lowery has publicly defended the concept that Bitcoin&#8217;s Proof-of-Work (PoW) is actually a cyber weapon (a &#8220;soft weapon&#8221;) allowing nations to project power in cyberspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to him, Bitcoin and PoW protocols will allow (and already are allowing) the securing of data, military commands, and information in a &#8220;zero-trust&#8221; manner by imposing a real energy and computational cost on attackers\u2014thus transforming cryptography into a genuine digital warfare tool between nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now serving as a special advisor to the INDOPACOM commander (a position he has held since August 2025), Lowery is seeing his ideas directly adopted by Admiral Samuel Paparo. This convergence marks the transition <strong>from an academic theory to a concrete military application.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, Lowery views Bitcoin as a <strong>power projection technology<\/strong> comparable to the <strong>navy or aviation,<\/strong> capable of protecting the United States in a future cyber war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With such institutional and military validation, the question is no longer whether Bitcoin will survive, but how far this state-level adoption can go. The integration of the protocol by the US military offers an unprecedented narrative that could propel demand to unseen levels. Other countries could then join this blockchain war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/us-military-is-running-a-bitcoin-node\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Bitcoinist<\/a><\/li>\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">CoinGape<\/a><\/li>\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Bitcoin Magazine<\/a><\/li>\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BitcoinNewsCom\/status\/2003513595808661875\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Bitcoin News<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p><strong>Related Articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-news\/binance-altcoin-volume\/\">Altcoin volume on Binance surpasses 50%: Is a Bull Run imminent?<\/a><\/li>\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-news\/xrp-ledger-security-secrets\/\">XRP Ledger: Zero hacks, Zero exploits!
