BTC has not only infiltrated the corporate world … it has become a cultural movement.
Bitcoin (BTC) and the rest of cryptocurrencies are living a change of time in the United States. Those times in which the Executive Power and various federal agencies saw this technology as something detrimental to small and large investors, seem to have been left behind. Although there is no way to know what tomorrow will bring, the truth is that, so far, BTC has gained a new impulse with the return of Donald Trump to the White House.
The creation of Satoshi Nakamoto has reached where it is on its own merit, driven by market demand. However, the renewed enthusiasm towards Bitcoin shown by US officials It has spread from within the country to multiple jurisdictions of the world.
Although the current tariff policy of Washington has negatively affected the price of BTC, initiatives such as the Executive Order to create a strategic reserve of cryptoactive promises to promote institutional adoption that, in the medium term, could be very beneficial for the most important digital asset.
Currently, from the US. advances are perceived both in the regulatory and adoption sphere. In regulatory matters, the panorama is especially encouraging, since during the government of Joe Biden the sector was subject to strong persecutions by the Bag and Securities Commission (SEC), the federal agency responsible for supervising financial markets.
As a result, several cryptoactive companies were sued and other entities, such as the Basic Product Future Negotiation Commission (CFTC), saw the scope of their competences reduced.
In contrast, the current panorama is much more favorable. It begins with the resignation of Gary Gensler – Ditular of the SEC during the government of Joe Biden – and the interim appointment of Mark Uyeda, while the procedures were finalized so that Paul Atkins, former Wall Street consultant and nominated by Donald Trump, was ratified by the Senate and formally assumed the position.
The arrival of Uyeda was also accompanied by the creation of the agency’s cryptoactive working group, led by lawyer Hester Peirce, who promised a more open approach to dialogue with the community and receptive towards innovation. Since then, The SEC has dismissed several litigation that kept active against important companies in the sectorsuch as coinbase, Kraken, Ripple, Uniswap, Robin Hood, between Otras.
These efforts have been complemented by The promotion of deregulations driven directly by Trump through executive orders. Among the most outstanding measures is the elimination of the controversial Sab 121, which forced cryptocurrency companies to register these assets as liabilities in their balances – that is, as debts they had to assume -, and at the same time to count an equivalent asset as «resource of custody.»
In addition, the issuance of digital currencies of Banco Central (CBDC) was prohibited and a rule that required decentralized exchanges to pay new taxes was annulled.
Nor can the impulse that come from the states be overlooked, where more than 15 have submitted bills to create their own strategic Bitcoin and other cryptoactive treasures. Jurisdictions such as Florida, Nuevo Hampshire, Texas, Missuri and Virginia Occidental They have already achieved small legislative victorieswhich is not less, because if we add the GDP of these regions (approximately 5.0 billion USD, according to data from the US Economic Analysis Office), we find that the result exceeds that of countries such as India (USD 4.1 billion), France (usd 3.2 billion), Italy (USD 2.4 billion) or Canada (USD 2.2 billion).
This sends a very powerful signal to investors and companies, so we should not look only at what happens nationwide, with «El Tsar» David Sacks leading his committee or from the perspective of the SEC.
The reactions of experts …
The deregulating vision currently promoting the United States has also resonated in other territories, as is the case of the Argentine Republic. A clear example of this harmony was recently seen when Federico Sturzenegger, Minister of Dregulation and Transformation of the State, participated in an event on economics organized by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington.
There, Sturzenegger explained how the administration of Javier Milei seeks to eliminate redundant processes and promote economic freedom, which draws a parallelism with the deregulations promoted in the US.
Javier Milei’s idea is economic freedom, and that means deregulation. You have to understand something: regulation, although it must be intelligent, is fundamentally anticipation. While a large company can overcome regulatory obstacles, for a small business it is much more difficult. The regulation is anti -pre -dissemination, antipequeñas companies, anti -peakness – because it creates input barriers – anti -re -reception and procorruption. I think that the deregulation strategy, together with the creation of economic stability, is the best way for Argentina.

The growing optimism around Bitcoin is also reflected in international events, such as the recent «Bitwise – Bitcoin Standard Corporations Investor Day.» In this edition, Ryan Rasmussen, Chief of Research of Bitwise, spoke with Saifedean Ammous – author of The Bitcoin Standard and advisor to Nayib Bukele in El Salvador – about the progress of BTC’s corporate adoption. Rasmussen stressed that currently 80 American public companies have bitcoin in their balancesand wondered how many more they will join for the 2026 edition.
In that line, Matt Hougan, Cio de Bitwise, asked Ammous if, seven years after publishing his book, he felt more or less confident that the world was moving towards a standard based on the leading digital asset.
Ammous replied: «I am even more confident. Approximately 360,000 blocks more confident ”, referring to the constant progress of the network. Bitwise projects that, promoted by a more favorable regulatory environment and the growing interest of large corporations, Hundreds of companies could adopt Bitcoin in their treasury in the next 12 to 18 months.
Hougan’s enthusiasm has also been shared by voices such as Tim Draper, a renowned risk capitalist and one of the first investors in Bitcoin, who in 2014 acquired 30,000 BTC in an asset auction confiscated by the US government.
Recently, Draper went to his profile in X to point out: «Gold is dead. It only remains motionless, while Bitcoin moves without borders or permits… You can’t buy coffee with gold, but with Bitcoin … ». With these words, Draper underlines the practical utility and flexibility of BTC against traditional assets, highlighting its ability to facilitate rapid and global transactions in an increasingly digital world.
The corporate facet and the war of tariffs …
Bitcoin fever has reached such a level in the business world that, recently, it was announced that Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, acquired an orange jacket to emulate the style of Michael Saylor, Strategy, famous for his fixation with BTC’s flagship color. Anecdotes like this reflects that the creation of Satoshi You can also inspire irony, humor and a sense of community among your followers.
As for events, BTC’s business adoption will be one of the central issues in the Bitcoin for Corporations, organized by Strategy, which will be held from May 6 to 7, 2025 in Orlando, Florida.
The conference will bring together corporate leaders and experts to explore how Bitcoin can transform corporate treasury strategies, with outstanding presentations by Michael Saylor and Phong Le, president and CEO of Strategy. Saylor, one of Bitcoin’s main referents since 2020, has promoted the institutional adoption of the asset By turning the firm into the public entity with more Bitcoin into its balanceaccumulating more than 538,000 BTC at the time of writing this note.
In a reality in which the price of BTC has also been affected by the tariff war promoted by Trump – leading it to the USD 74,000 area – it is important to mention that Bitcoin has demonstrated a remarkable strength.
In fact, a recent report by Franklin Templeton underlines the resilience of the asset against the volatility generated by Washington’s commercial policies, which have sown uncertainty in global markets and taken to the S&P 500 ranging between 4,900 and 5,500 points in just one week.
The work reminds us that the main digital asset is not exposed to risks of corporate gains, interruptions in the supply chain or tariff threats, so it concludes that it could be even more strengthened and consolidated as a very important refuge in the face of the turbulence of the traditional economy.
The United States is living a decisive moment in its relationship with Bitcoin, and its impact feels much beyond its borders. What was previously seen with skepticism from the high controls of power today advances with renewed impulse, backed by a more open and favorable environment.
Companies, state governments and large investors are contributing to BTC being consolidated as a strategic asset, not only to protect value, but also to build the future of finance. «Bitcoinization» is no longer a distant possibility: it is a reality that advances in a firm pace.
