A literal liberal, that is someone who wants free markets amd private property as derived from the non-aggression principle and the absolute right to oneself, yes, obviously.
Socialist progressives, who believe the State is a morally legitimate economic and social actor with the role to "redistribute" private property and "provide public services", not so much.
If they want to fool themselves either believing they are leftists while supporting an inherently anti-State technology, or by believing they can turn Bitcoin into a pro-State technology, that entirely a "they" problem, not a Bitcoin problem or a liberalism problem.
