Conservative activist Charlie Kirk, a close ally of Trump and a well-known Bitcoin advocate, was shot dead at Utah Valley University at the age of 31. Kirk argues that Bitcoin is a national strategic asset and proposes to establish U.S. Bitcoin reserves and purchase Bitcoin through tariff funding to reduce debt. He often mentions the scarcity and application potential of Bitcoin, predicting its value could reach $1 million, and comparing its growth to the dominance of the dollar. His death eliminated the key voice of conservatives linking policy to cryptocurrency applications. Utah authorities continue to investigate the shooting, with two initially detained persons acquitted.
