Trump just dropped a bombshell, saying Bitcoin could help pay off America’s $38 trillion debt. His bold claim has reignited the global conversation around crypto’s real potential and how digital assets could reshape the financial system.
At a private meeting, Trump called crypto “the future” and suggested using Bitcoin to “save America.” But doing the math shows just how ambitious that idea is. With only 19.93 million BTC in circulation, each coin would need to be worth around $1.9 million to cover the entire U.S. debt.
The U.S. government only holds about 326,000 BTC, roughly 1.6% of total supply, seized mostly through criminal cases. If Washington tried to pay off its debt using those holdings, Bitcoin’s price would need to soar to nearly $116 million, giving it a market cap of $230 trillion, more than the world’s entire GDP.
Still, the narrative of Bitcoin as a solution to financial imbalance is gaining traction. Institutional activity and trade volumes have picked up noticeably since Trump’s latest comments. With BTC hovering around $110,000, investors are once again asking the question, is Bitcoin truly the answer to America’s debt dilemma?
