Donald Trump suggested that the United States could use Bitcoin to help pay its national debt, currently estimated at 38 trillion dollars. According to his statements, if the United States were to hold and strategically use Bitcoin as an asset, it could theoretically reduce the debt burden by positioning the cryptocurrency as a reserve asset or a national treasury fund.
The idea is highly speculative and impractical under current financial systems. They point out that Bitcoin's volatility, regulatory uncertainty, and lack of institutional infrastructure make it an unreliable tool for debt reduction, in addition to the complexities involved in converting crypto assets into fiscal policy instruments.
Although Trump's theoretical comment reflects a broader effort to position the United States as a global cryptocurrency hub, many analysts warn that achieving such ambitions would require significant structural reforms, legislative backing, and a change in how the United States treats digital assets within its monetary and fiscal frameworks.
