JD Vance Predicts Bitcoin Mass Adoption: 100M Holders Imminent

At Bitcoin 2025, Senator JD Vance dropped a bombshell prediction—crypto’s tipping point is closer than Wall Street thinks.

The BTC Ownership Boom

Vance argues Bitcoin’s network effect will explode past 100 million global holders ‘soon,’ bypassing traditional finance’s gatekeepers. No timelines, just conviction—and a not-so-subtle dig at hedge funds still betting against decentralized money.

Why This Hurts Banks

Every new BTC wallet cuts into legacy profit centers. Watch custody fees crumble as self-sovereign ownership goes mainstream—assuming regulators don’t ‘protect’ us into oblivion first.

JD Vance outlined that he is bullish on technology, equating the cryptocurrency industry to “genuine, ground-up innovation that is already improving the well-being of tens of thousands of people.”

He also outlined that he believes 100 million people will own Bitcoin “before not too long.”

Speaking on the broader industry, he said that:

Crypto is a hedge against bad policy at Washington, regardless of which party is ahead, against skyrocketing inflation, which has eroded people’s savings, hedge against the private sector that’s willing to discriminate against consumers on the basis of their basic belives, including their politics.

Going forward, Vance also touched on ending the controversial operation Chokepoint 2.0, while also vowing that the Trump administration wii never “try to handicap” the crypto community.

We reject weaponized regulators. We fired Gary Gensler – and we’re going to fire everyone like him. We know their type, and we know the game they play: under the pretense of consumer protection, they attacked every single effort to democratize our financial markets.
