Bitcoin Resonates With Everyone on the Political Spectrum

Bitcoin may resonate with US voters even across political divides, according to a new analysis from the BTC Policy Institute published Thursday, which shows that each party warms to Bitcoin when it is seen as aligned with its core values.

BTC Policy used data from a June 2025 poll conducted by US-based polling analytics platform Cygnal to model how Democrats, Republicans and Independents respond to specific Bitcoin narratives.

Democrats were primarily attracted to Bitcoin (BTC) ability to enhance financial freedom and inclusion for underserved populations, while Republicans and Independents liked the stability that Bitcoin mining brings to the energy grid and right of transaction without government interference.

Independents were, however, twice as likely to own Bitcoin as Republicans and more than five times as likely as Democrats.

Bitcoin and cryptocurrency have recently been seen as a means for financial innovation, having been embraced by the The Trump administration until 2025, while he saw more cautious treatment under the previous administration.

However, it is worth noting that Bitcoin only works math and code, and has no affiliation with any person, company or political party.

Policymakers need to reframe their Bitcoin messaging

The BTC Policy stated that policy makers in favor of Bitcoin should educate their audiences about how Bitcoin aligns with their core beliefs, instead of referring to it as an investment: “Advocacy initiatives should prioritize value-based messaging over appeals to personal financial gain.”
