The U.S. military has confirmed it is running a Bitcoin node, and prediction markets for Bitcoin staying above $66,000 on April 25 are priced at 100% YES.

INDOPACOM is using Bitcoin’s network as a cybersecurity tool in the context of U.S.-China competition. The move fits with the Trump Administration’s broader technology strategy. The market for Bitcoin surpassing $66,000 on April 25 is priced at 100% YES, leaving essentially no room for downside bets on that threshold.

Trader sentiment has hardened around Bitcoin’s connection to national security interests. The market for Bitcoin dropping to $60,000 has drawn little interest given this institutional development. The April 25 market trades $8,085 in USDC daily with $65,152 depth to move 5 points, meaning any price movement has substantial liquidity behind it.

The military’s use of Bitcoin is a geopolitical signal, not just a technical exercise. The U.S. already holds significant Bitcoin reserves, and this step points to deeper institutional commitment, which works against the probability of sharp price declines. At 100¢, a YES share offers negligible returns because the market has already priced in certainty that Bitcoin stays above $66,000.

Watch for statements from the Federal Reserve and BlackRock on crypto policy. Any shift in their positions could move market confidence. New U.S.-China cyber engagements could also affect sentiment.
