Vice President JD Vance just wrapped up a huge win for conservatives in Las Vegas. On Tuesday night, he headlined a private fundraiser that brought in $1 million per person for MAGA Inc., President Trump’s main super PAC.
The timing was perfect. Vance held this exclusive event the night before speaking at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference at The Venetian. This wasn’t just about raising money. It showed how conservatives are building real partnerships with people who believe in free markets and limited government.
Why This Matters to Conservatives
For too long, government bureaucrats have tried to control every part of our economy. The Biden administration spent four years attacking cryptocurrency with heavy-handed rules and enforcement actions. They treated digital money like it was dangerous instead of innovative.
Now we’re seeing the opposite approach. The fundraiser for MAGA Inc., the primary super PAC supporting President Donald Trump, will be held as a “private roundtable & photo opportunity” featuring Vance as the “special guest speaker,” the invitation says.
This $1 million per head event brought together tech leaders and crypto investors who share conservative values. These are people who built businesses without asking government for permission. They understand that innovation happens when government gets out of the way.

Trump’s Pro-Freedom Crypto Agenda Already Working
President Trump has kept his promises to the crypto community. President Trump promised to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a Digital Assets Stockpile. He’s already signed executive orders to ease restrictions on digital currencies and establish a national bitcoin reserve.
At the Bitcoin conference, “I’m here today to say loud and clear, with President Trump, crypto finally has a champion and an ally in the White House,” Vance told the Bitcoin 2025 Conference in Las Vegas.
This is what limited government looks like in action. Instead of picking winners and losers, the Trump administration is letting markets work. “The United States will be the crypto capital of the planet and the Bitcoin superpower of the world,” he said.
Vance Connects Silicon Valley to Conservative Values
The Vice President brings unique credentials to this fight. As a former venture capitalist, he understands how innovation really works. Vance, a former venture capitalist, has long-standing friendships with top Silicon Valley investors who have become leading GOP donors, including Sacks and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel.
These aren’t typical Washington insiders. They’re entrepreneurs who built companies that changed the world. People like Peter Thiel and David Sacks understand that government usually hurts innovation more than it helps.
Vance serves as the RNC’s finance chair, making him the first vice president to take on this role. This shows how serious Republicans are about building lasting coalitions with job creators and innovators.
The Numbers Show Conservative Success
The crypto industry made smart investments in the 2024 election. According to the watchdog group Open Secrets, three pro-crypto Super PACs spent more than $130 million to get their supporters elected.
In Ohio, crypto supporters spent $40 million to help Bernie Moreno defeat Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown. Brown chaired the Senate Banking Committee and wanted tougher crypto regulations. His defeat was a huge win for free market principles.
Vance owned between $250,000 and $500,000 worth of Bitcoin, according to an August 2024 financial disclosure. This shows he has skin in the game, not just political interest.
What Comes Next
The Vegas fundraiser was just the beginning. Vance will keep building bridges between conservative politicians and innovative businesses. Vance urged Congress to pass the GENIUS Act, which would create a regulatory framework for stablecoins.
The Trump administration is moving fast to undo Biden’s anti-crypto policies. President Trump has also begun to roll back certain aspects of the Biden administration’s crypto regulatory and enforcement policies and indicated that his administration will attempt to implement a clear regulatory framework for the crypto industry.
With crypto-friendly leaders like Paul Atkins nominated to run the SEC, we’re seeing real change. The FDIC and OCC have rescinded their anti-crypto guidance, but the Federal Reserve has only partially followed suit.
Looking Ahead to 2026 and Beyond
The Vegas fundraiser shows that conservatives are building real coalitions with people who create jobs and drive innovation. This isn’t about getting rich quick or making risky bets. It’s about supporting American leadership in emerging technologies.
Vance’s growing role as a fundraiser for Trump’s political machine shows how bitcoin investors are becoming more important in GOP politics. This partnership will be crucial for the 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential race.
The choice is clear. We can have heavy-handed government control that stifles innovation, or we can have free markets that let American entrepreneurs lead the world. The success of this Vegas fundraiser shows that conservatives are choosing freedom.
