So I did as commanded
"BPI provides the research, education, and expertise necessary to help America lead in the digital asset revolution while protecting consumers and preserving individual liberty."
They sound just lovely and definitely have all our best interests at heart. And totally not bitcoin shills, nosiree.
Nice cherry picking... Allow me:
BPI operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with research and editorial independence. The core team consists of around 25 fellows, advisors, and full-time professionals, including:
Grant McCarty: Executive Director
Matthew Pines: Director of Special Programs / Senior Fellow
Sam Lyman: Head of Research (formerly of the U.S. Treasury Department)
David Zell: President
The institute acts as an educational and advisory resource for lawmakers, regulators, and the media.
Direct Engagement: BPI regularly briefs Congressional members and agency staff, provides expert testimonies, and shapes federal and state legislation.
Congressional Fellowship: BPI operates a fellowship program to train policymakers and their staff on the fundamentals of Bitcoin technology and policy.
Bitcoin Policy Summit: BPI hosts an annual flagship conference in Washington, D.C., that brings together regulators, researchers, and industry leaders to discuss digital asset policy.
Who funds them?
The fossil fuel industry, crypto bros, Kevin O'Leary, and other MAGA riff-raff?
Is this cherry picking too? 682df013e55cf277195c3034_BPI Policy Manifesto 20 May 2025.pdf https://share.google/fUP3qeJbPSQI0yCuP in which the title is literally "BITCOIN POLICY INSTITUTE A Comprehensive Policy Framework for U.S. Leadership on Bitcoin Zack Shapiro" sorry about the Google share, can't find it linked anywhere else. In this policy recommendation they advocate for establishing a US Bitcoin strategic reserve. C'mon now, spin that one as it being for protection of the little guy.
