The U.S. military is using the Bitcoin network to strengthen national security capabilities, according to a claim cited by Bitcoin Magazine.
Bitcoin Magazine reported on April 22 that Rep. Lance Gooden, a Republican lawmaker, said the U.S. military is operating Bitcoin nodes to bolster national security.
Gooden did not explain how the nodes are being used or how widely they are deployed. He suggested, however, that the Bitcoin network's decentralization and security could make it suitable for military applications.
The market is also watching a series of recent comments from U.S. military and policy circles on Bitcoin's potential technical uses. Adm. Samuel Paparo had previously described Bitcoin as a computer science tool that could be used for cybersecurity.
