📄 Official Position of the Bitcoin Policy Institute We have consistently opposed politically motivated debanking across two administrations. Excluding individuals from the financial system based on their political beliefs or values undermines the foundation of a free society. Whether the target is a Bitcoin business, a firearms dealer, a conservative charity, or a progressive nonprofit, the principle remains the same. The current administration also acknowledged this principle in its August 2025 executive order on "Fair Banking." We supported this executive order when it was issued, and we maintain the same position today. Furthermore, we believe that technologies rendering debanking and censorship of free expression practically impossible align with America’s strategic interests. When people around the world can freely use money and express their opinions, authoritarian regimes lose their core tools for controlling their populations. This strategic advantage far outweighs any inconvenience such free technologies may create for U.S. law enforcement agencies. This is precisely why we joined the Freedom Tech Excellence Program—to help the government better understand this perspective.
