The overall environmental and economic effects of Bitcoin have jumped the cryptocurrency from a specialized policy issue to the thick Chilean presidential race, with consultants for each major competitor who treats assets-the mining-backed mining manufacturer-a possible supreme vote instead of responsibility.
Bitcoin appears as a 2025 electoral issue in Chile
Daniel Patten Investment Capitalism in New Zealand Daniel Patten He said His followers on X that “Bitcoin is formed as an electoral issue for Chile in 2025.” He added that after meetings on both sides of the corridor, no serious technology candidate is now opposed, because “to be against bitcoin is like being against the Internet: political suicide.”
Batten’s evaluation in a two -year pressure campaign is largely low led by Andrés Villagrán, which turned into the software engine that turned into Chilean policy. Since 2023, Veljran, American strategic expert Denis Porter, CEO of Satoshi, sponsored the committee’s halls in Santiago and regional capitals, where he photographed Bitcoin mining as an antidote to the problem of regenerating renewable energy in the country. In a publication on May 18, he reported “great progress in Chile this week!
Viljran’s dialogue points echo with legislators who formulate the Bitcoin Strategic Bill (SBR) – legislation that allows the Central Bank to carry in addition to the gold and foreign currency. He wrote earlier this year, “In 2023, I began an incredible trip … an interview with more than 20 parliamentarians and many ministers,” stressing that the additional sessions with the Ministry of Finance are planned in the second half of the year.
Porter reinforced the message last week in a 40 -minute major speech at the Chilean Fintech 2025 forum, describing the reducing a “crisis” of six hours of solar energy and wind annually. “When a variable renewable generation combines a changing load like Bitcoin mining, you can eliminate completely reduce,” he told the audience, saying that the ability of miners to decrease upon request makes them wander in the network instead of parasites.

Andrés Villagrán 🌳⚡ (Avillagran) May 15, 2025
I noticed the political class. According to the campaign assistants who have knowledge of the surroundings, both Jose Antonio Cast from the right-wing Republican Party and Evelyn Mattei from the Chilean-Yamine-right alliance-was currently linked by 17 % in the latest survey in Cadem-Bitcoin framework as a competitive issue instead of the speculative bubble. On the left, the unit for Chile occupied the introductory elections agreement on June 29, which includes Carolina Toha, Gonzalo Winter, Janet Jara and Jayyimi Mallite, none of them ruled out the energy policy associated with Bitcoin.
With a polls that are still volatile six months before the first round on November 16, the campaign strategists say the discussion can crystallize on June 20, when the forum of the nationalized candidates at the national level is expected to devote a sector to pricing energy and digital assets. Villagrán confirms that at least one competitor has already pledged to the record to raise Bitcoin mining that night.
Whether the SBR bill advances before the elections is still inaccurate; The Central Bank’s Board of Directors warned of “fluctuations and liquidity fears” under the rules of management of the International Monetary Fund reserves, and the administration of President Gabriel Borik maintained general neutrality. However, the political cost – interest. Patten also said, “Chilean politicians have learned” from the Democratic catastrophe in the United States, “and are determined not to arrest the wrong side of the technology that many voters now equal to innovation, cheap power and total preparation.
If this account continues, the November polling may be the first time in Latin America, where the main economy is heading to the polls with each applicable presidential program that contains a separation from Bitcoin – a result that may concern global energy discussion as much as the future of digital money.
At the time of the press, BTC was traded at $ 105,385.
