The U.S. Indo-Pacific Command is operating a live Bitcoin node to study its use in cybersecurity. Admiral Samuel Paparo confirmed that the project is still experimental and focused on research, not mining or financial use. The military is examining Bitcoin’s blockchain, cryptography, and proof-of-work system to understand how they can help monitor and secure digital networks. Officials say the goal is to explore stronger protection against cyber threats by using decentralized technology. The effort remains in the testing phase as part of broader defense innovation work.
