According to a report released by River on May 20, the United States is striving to become the global center for BTC and the broader digital asset ecosystem, which could lay the foundation for a new phase of domestic economic growth.

The "2025 U.S. Report" claims that the U.S. has a unique advantage in benefiting from the institutionalization of BTC in the financial, energy, and technology sectors.

Survey data cited in the report shows that over 40% of American adults under 40 have used or invested in BTC, highlighting its relevance among this generation.

Among small business owners surveyed, 29% expressed interest in accepting BTC or diversifying their assets with BTC as a reserve asset.

Institutional Maturity

River points out that U.S. companies have built the world's most mature BTC financial infrastructure, with major asset management firms launching multiple BTC spot ETFs, widespread adoption of institutional-grade custody services, and increasing use of BTC in corporate treasuries.

The report notes that the growing participation of pension funds, registered investment advisory firms (RIAs), and Fortune 500 companies demonstrates that BTC is continuously integrating into the traditional financial system.

According to River's estimates, by early 2025, over 75% of the global BTC spot ETF assets will be managed by U.S. companies. Reports indicate that Coinbase Custody, which represents multiple ETFs, has custody of over 900,000 BTC.

In addition to institutional capital flows, River also emphasizes the socio-cultural aspects behind the transformation of BTC. The report mentions that private wealth in the U.S. is flowing to BTC-friendly jurisdictions, including Florida and Tennessee. These regions offer tax incentives and favorable policies that attract high-net-worth individuals.

Moreover, several publicly listed BTC mining companies in the U.S. are also driving domestic capacity expansion. The report states that over 38% of the total BTC network hash rate comes from the U.S., nearly double that of the second-ranked country.

This concentration of hash power gives the U.S. a structural advantage in the governance and security model of BTC. It also creates new demand-side grid flexibility, as miners act as responsive electricity consumers, helping to stabilize regional power grids.

Strategic Policy Trends and Social Integration

The report emphasizes that viewing BTC as a strategic reserve asset similar to gold may become central to future U.S. economic policy.

Additionally, the report notes that various states in the U.S. are supporting BTC custody, mining, and providing legal protections for users through legislation. These laws have created a "BTC corridor" that attracts capital and technical talent.

BTC is particularly attractive to the younger generation and small business owners who are concerned about the depreciation of the dollar and inflation risks. It has become a tool for achieving financial sovereignty.

River describes the trend of this demographic as a "bottom-up complement" to top-down institutional adoption.

The report also notes that the integration of BTC at the institutional, industrial, and personal levels has built a strategic platform for domestic capital formation.
