David Zell: Bitcoin Policy is National Security Now

David Zell, co-founder of the Bitcoin Policy Institute, joins Bitcoin Magazine's Frank Corva in Washington, D.C. following the 2025 Bitcoin Policy Summit. In this conversation, David makes the case that Bitcoin policy is no longer just about finance — it's a matter of national security.

From bipartisan momentum to executive support, Bitcoin has become a strategic imperative for the U.S. government. David discusses the role of policymakers, the collapse of crypto credibility post-FTX, the human rights dimension of Bitcoin, and why D.C. insiders are finally taking Bitcoin seriously.

Bitcoin is no longer an outsider movement — it's a central issue of U.S. foreign policy, economic resilience, and global leadership.
