The US Military Is Running A Bitcoin Node, Admiral Paparo Reveals
Authored by Micah Zimmerman via Bitcoin Magazine,
The United States military has an active node on the Bitcoin network, according to Admiral Samuel Paparo, commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM). The disclosure, made at a House Services committee hearing, marks the first known confirmation that a U.S. military combatant command is directly participating in the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network.
“We have a node on the Bitcoin network,” Paparo wrote. “We're doing a number of operational tests to secure and protect networks using the Bitcoin protocol.”

The action comes weeks after the $285 million Drift Protocol exploit; an incident that put the entire stablecoin industry under public scrutiny and drove hard questions about issuer's crisis responses. Tether addressed the incident by proposing a $127.5 million recovery contribution.
“USDT is not a safe haven for illicit activity,” said Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, in a statement. “When credible links to sanctioned entities or criminal networks are...
