NYC Mayor Eric Adams Wants a “Bitcoin Bond” to Revolutionize City Finance

Speaking at The Bitcoin Conference 2025, Adams declared:

“This is the first time in the history of this city to have a financial instrument that is made for those who are holders of Bitcoin.”

A Vision for Bitcoin-Powered Public Finance

The proposed Bitcoin Bond would allow investors to participate in New York City-issued bond investments backed or denominated in BTC or related digital assets. While no formal proposal has been introduced yet, Adams promised to “push and fight” for its development, urging both local stakeholders and the broader crypto community to get involved.

“Thinking big and being unafraid of the future is what we want to do,” Adams said, emphasizing the city’s need to innovate financially and technologically. He positioned the initiative as a way to reclaim New York City’s role as a financial and fintech leader, especially after years of regulatory uncertainty that pushed crypto innovators elsewhere.

An Open Invitation to the Crypto Industry

In a broader message to the blockchain industry, Adams urged builders and businesses to “come out of the shadows” and reengage with New York City.

“You no longer have to be afraid to be part of this major industry that has been attacked, criticized, and denied the opportunity to move forward and grow.”

This statement follows the city’s ongoing efforts to balance innovation with regulation. Adams has previously taken his own paycheck in Bitcoin and has been vocal about turning NYC into a crypto hub—a vision that’s gaining renewed attention as federal sentiment toward digital assets begins to shift.
