U.S. Bitcoin Boom: 50M Users, $30B Mining & Bipartisan Momentum

In this episode, Nik is joined by River’s head of research Sam Baker to discuss “The American Bitcoin Advantage,” a report outlining the United States’ strategic position in Bitcoin adoption. They explore how 40% of Bitcoin’s supply is held by Americans, the growing wave of business adoption, and why Bitcoin is emerging as a preferred treasury asset for companies nationwide. The conversation covers mining investment, bipartisan support in Congress, state-level Bitcoin policies, and how the U.S. can harness Bitcoin as both a technological and monetary advantage in a changing global order.
