Vice President JD Vance to Headline Bitcoin Conference, Following Trump's Lead
Vice President JD Vance will headline the Bitcoin 2025 conference, marking the first time a vice president has led a crypto event. This follows President Donald Trump's appearance at the previous year's Bitcoin 2024 conference. Vance, who previously disclosed Bitcoin holdings between $100,000 and $250,000, has ties to the crypto community through his work with Peter Thiel. Since Trump's return to office, he has created a strategic Bitcoin reserve, signed a crypto-related bill, and launched a Solana meme coin. Trump's actions have faced scrutiny from Democrats but received praise from industry advocates. The conference will be held in Las Vegas from May 27-29, featuring speakers including Trump's sons and the White House's AI and crypto czar, David Sacks.
