Bitcoin goes political XBT goes public
As a pro-Bitcoin shift in U.S. politics gains momentum, a historic cryptocurrency domain is making waves in the digital asset market. The ultra-premium domain XBT.com long associated with Bitcoin’s international currency code, is now up for auction, drawing attention from investors, crypto veterans, and digital asset strategists alike.
The timing is no coincidence. President Donald Trump’s recent remarks vowing to make the United States the “Bitcoin superpower” have sent ripples through both political and financial communities. With crypto once again at the center of U.S. discourse, key digital assets, especially rare domains like XBT.com—are being re-evaluated for their strategic importance in a post-regulatory boom.
As countries around the world move to regulate and integrate cryptocurrency into their financial systems, Bitcoin has officially entered the mainstream.
In recent years, Bitcoin has evolved from a decentralised experiment to a recognised financial asset adopted by global institutions. Governments in countries such as the United States, Australia, Japan, and the United Kingdom have introduced regulation frameworks to support cryptocurrency trading and taxation. Financial giants like BlackRock and Fidelity have launched Bitcoin-related investment products, and central banks are exploring crypto-backed financial infrastructure.
“We’re witnessing the global legitimisation of Bitcoin—governments are no longer on the sidelines. They're building frameworks, launching crypto tax policies, and even exploring digital currencies of their own,” said Lee Hames, Chief Operations Officer at Lloyds Auctions.
At the Blockworks Digital Assets summit last Thursday, President Donald Trump made a powerful vow, to make America “the undisputed Bitcoin superpower and crypto capital of the world.”
Used in financial circles as an ISO-style ticker for Bitcoin, “XBT” remains one of the most recognisable yet underutilised crypto identifiers. As Governments back Bitcoin, Investors Turn Attention to XBT.com where the domain offers immediate brand authority, global recognition, and broad utility whether for an exchange, ETF product, crypto media outlet, wallet provider, or institutional-grade fund.
“XBT.com isn’t just a domain, it’s a once-in-a-generation digital asset,” said Mr. Lee Hames, Chief Operations Officer for Lloyds Auctions. “As Bitcoin gets political backing and institutional acceptance, owning the name behind the movement becomes an unmatched strategic edge.”
“We have had a few high-profile bidders from the global financial and technology sectors enquire and bid on the domain thus far, where it will end up is anyone’s guess, however with the recent political endorsement of Crypto in the U.S., it is shaping up to be one of the most closely watched domain sales in recent history,” stated Mr. Hames.
With digital identity, trust, and visibility more critical than ever, the auction of XBT.com marks a pivotal moment where historical crypto infrastructure intersects with the new wave of political and economic endorsement.
The auction is now open to qualified bidders. The auction closes on the 28th of March, to browse details on the auction or register to bid visit Lloyds Auctions OR XBT.com
