Vice President JD Vance spoke at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday, headlining the event less than one year after President Donald Trump stood before a throng of Bitcoin supporters at Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville.

On the conference’s main stage, named after pseudonymous Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, the VP opened by thanking the packed crowd of Bitcoin supporters and broader BTC community for helping him and Trump move “from candidacy to the White House.”
