Highlight Clip US Admiral Backs Bitcoin: A Matter of National Interest In April 2026, Admiral Samuel Paparo, Commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, stated during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on the fiscal year 2027 defense budget request that Bitcoin can be regarded as a computer science tool integrating cryptography, blockchain and proof-of-work mechanisms.
He pointed out that Bitcoin boasts enormous potential in this regard, and the costs brought by its proof-of-work protocols exceed those of basic algorithmic network security and operational maintenance. Beyond economic attributes, Bitcoin holds significant practical value in cybersecurity, and delivers positive implications for strengthening the overall national power of the United States. — link
