Finance Minister Highlights Bitcoin's Advantages

Scott Bessent shared a post stating that Bitcoin is "never shut down," criticizing Senate Democrats. This post was made on social media platform X on October 31. Bessent praised Bitcoin’s design for continuous operation.

Bessent's statements align with his earlier support for stablecoins under the GENIUS Act and his exploration of the potential to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

This post came during a partial federal shutdown in which approximately 900,000 employees were furloughed and many agencies halted services.
