Bitcoin Policy Institute has released a report alleging that opposition to U.S. AI infrastructure is being shaped by foreign influence.
The report, titled Foreign Influence in the Campaign against American AI, was published on May 18, 2026. BPI says it identifies three main vectors behind the campaign: CCP state media, the Singham network, and foreign-billionaire dark money.
PR Newswire distributed the release the same day, and Fox News published early coverage summarizing the report’s claims.
BPI says the report is a 17-minute read and lists Sam Lyman as the author. The institute says the paper traces how anti-data-center activism has been amplified and frames the issue as a broader effort to shape U.S. AI policy.
The report’s claims have not been independently verified in the sources reviewed for this story. For now, the public development is the publication itself and the initial amplification of its allegations through press distribution and early news coverage.
What happens next
The main open question is whether other outlets or researchers will substantiate the report’s allegations beyond BPI’s own evidence. Another question is whether the report prompts any response from the organizations or figures named in it.
