Beyond Traditional Finance: Could Bitcoin Offer a Solution to the US Debt Crisis?
A theoretical strategy proposes the U.S. Treasury could reduce the national debt by acquiring and holding Bitcoin.
This plan involves converting existing reserves, potentially initiating federal Bitcoin mining, and anticipating significant price appreciation. The government would then monetize these holdings through phased sell-offs or issue Bitcoin-backed bonds. Success depends on sustained global demand for Bitcoin, robust regulatory protections, and a long-term investment horizon.
Critics deem this approach speculative, but proponents cite Bitcoin’s finite supply and historical growth. Ultimately, the feasibility hinges on a substantial shift in global monetary systems and the willingness of policymakers to embrace a decentralized asset.
