Bitcoin devs flocked back to work amid a big year for crypto
Key metrics tracking the development of Bitcoin Core show 2025 was a good year for the blockchain, with more developers contributing more code, says Jameson Lopp.
Bitcoin developers working on Bitcoin Core, the software that powers a majority of nodes that back the blockchain, had a busy year in 2025, with more developers pushing out more code, according to Bitcoiner Jameson Lopp.
Lopp, the co-founder of the crypto management platform Casa, said on Sunday that 135 different people had contributed code to Bitcoin Core last year, rising from just over 100 individuals in 2024 and continuing an uptrend. The number of contributors peaked in 2018 with nearly 200 contributors.
Those developers also changed more code, with Lopp reporting 285,000 lines of code were changed last year, a more than 3% jump from the 276,000 lines of code changed in 2024.

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council
The post Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor and a group of crypto executives met in Washington, D.C. yesterday to push for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill (the BITCOIN Act), which would see the U.S. acquire up to 1M $BTC over five years. With Bitcoin being positioned yet again as a cornerstone of national monetary policy, many investors are turning their eyes to projects that lean into this narrative – altcoins, meme coins, and presales that could ride on the same wave. Read on for three of the best crypto projects that seem especially well‐suited to benefit from this macro shift: Bitcoin Hyper, Best Wallet Token, and Remittix. These projects stand out for having a strong use case and high adoption potential, especially given the push for a U.S. Bitcoin reserve. Why the Bitcoin Reserve Bill Matters for Crypto Markets The strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill could mark a turning point for the U.S. approach to digital assets. The proposal would see America build a long-term Bitcoin reserve by acquiring up to one million $BTC over five years. To make this happen, lawmakers are exploring creative funding methods such as revaluing old gold certificates. The plan also leans on confiscated Bitcoin already held by the government, worth an estimated $15–20B. This isn’t just a headline for policy wonks. It signals that Bitcoin is moving from the margins into the core of financial strategy. Industry figures like Michael Saylor, Senator Cynthia Lummis, and Marathon Digital’s Fred Thiel are all backing the bill. They see Bitcoin not just as an investment, but as a hedge against systemic risks. For the wider crypto market, this opens the door for projects tied to Bitcoin and the infrastructure that supports it. 1.
