Excited to discuss how Bitcoin and digital assets fit into the financial landscape with @TheBitcoinConf!
Digital assets are changing how families save, invest, and build wealth, in Iowa and across the country. The Bitcoin Bloc is real, and it's time for America to take it seriously rather than let China set the terms of the digital future.

Commentary on Stance
Add your own commentary on this stanceRepresentative Mariannette Miller-Meeks just dropped a massive signal of support for the industry, earning a perfect 100 out of 100 stance score for her recent comments.
There are several reasons why this statement is an exceptionally strong indicator of pro-crypto policy. First, taking the time to physically attend and engage with industry stakeholders at major events like the Bitcoin Conference is one of the strongest signals that a politician is genuinely committed to the space. It shows a willingness to learn and participate, rather than just govern from afar.
Second, she correctly frames Bitcoin and digital assets as vital tools for everyday families to save and build wealth. By acknowledging the "Bitcoin Bloc," she recognizes that crypto advocates are a substantial demographic that expects clear rules of the road. Her point about outcompeting China is also the exact geopolitical understanding we need in Washington. The United States cannot afford to cede the future of digital finance to authoritarian regimes.
This is far from empty rhetoric. Looking at her flawless track record, she has consistently backed up her words with action. Last year, she voted to provide much-needed regulatory clarity by supporting the GENIUS Act—a landmark bill that established a framework for payment stablecoins, mandating 1:1 reserves while explicitly ensuring they aren't treated as securities. She also supported the CLARITY Act, which finally gave the CFTC exclusive jurisdiction over spot market digital commodities and protected the rights of individuals to self-custody their assets.
Furthermore, she has been a staunch defender of financial privacy, voting for the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act back in 2024 and 2025 to prohibit the Federal Reserve from issuing a retail central bank digital currency that could be used to monitor and control citizens. She even started accepting Bitcoin for her own campaign last summer.
When a legislator actively champions clear regulatory frameworks, protects financial privacy, and shows up in person to listen to the community, that is the gold standard for crypto advocacy.
