This marks the first time a U.S. president has explicitly endorsed Bitcoin's infrastructure potential while connecting it to human freedom. The timing - just before a federal crypto report - suggests potential policy shifts toward embracing decentralized digital assets rather than centralized CBDCs. This represents an unprecedented legitimization of cryptocurrency at the highest level of government.
Trump Endorses Bitcoin: First US President Links Crypto to Freedom
📰 What Happened
On July 21, 2025, Donald Trump shared Peter Van Valkenburgh's 2018 Senate testimony on Truth Social, calling it the 'greatest Bitcoin explanation of all time.' The endorsement comes one day before the due date of Executive Order 14178's mandated report on digital assets. Van Valkenburgh's testimony framed Bitcoin as 'the world's first public digital payments infrastructure' comparable to the Internet's impact on human freedom. The Working Group on Digital Asset Markets' recommendations are expected July 22.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The convergence of presidential endorsement with Van Valkenburgh's description of Bitcoin as a 'computer-science breakthrough' enabling global value transfer reveals how modern technology fulfills Revelation's global economic prophecies. This infrastructure allows instant worldwide transactions 'using nothing more than a computer and internet connection' - a capability necessary for the prophesied unified economic system but impossible before digital technology. The pending federal report could accelerate institutional adoption of blockchain systems that enable precise tracking of all financial activity.
