When does Washington move fast? When something becomes a national security priority. On this week’s Bitcoin Policy Hour, the Bitcoin Policy Institute team breaks down why quantum technology isn’t just another tech buzzword — it’s the next geopolitical battleground. The U.S. is investing directly in quantum firms because whoever wins this race will shape the future of encryption and information security. If an adversary develops quantum capabilities first, decades of encrypted government and financial data could be exposed overnight — including Bitcoin and every sensitive communications channel the U.S. depends on. The takeaway: Quantum must be treated with the same strategic urgency as AI, rare earths, and energy independence, and Bitcoin should be integrated into America’s broader resilience strategy. 🎥 Watch here: cc: Zack Shapiro Zack Cohen Bayman11771
