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 aligns with the Trump Administration’s broader technology strategy.
Prediction market pricing suggests the threshold is effectively locked in. The market for Bitcoin surpassing $66,000 on April 25 is priced at 100% YES, leaving essentially no room for downside bets on that level.

The U.S. already holds significant Bitcoin reserves, and the node operation is presented as pointing to deeper institutional commitment, which would work against the probability of sharp price declines.
With the April 25 contract priced at 100¢, a YES share offers negligible returns because the market has already priced in certainty that Bitcoin stays above $66,000.
Market participants are expected to watch statements from the Federal Reserve and BlackRock on crypto policy, as any shift could affect market confidence. New U.S.-China cyber engagements could also influence sentiment.
