Trump proposed to pay off US national debt with cryptocurrency

Market and Events: Trump proposed to pay off US national debt with cryptocurrency

US President Donald Trump has stated that Washington may use cryptocurrencies to settle its national debt, which is estimated to be around $35 trillion as of fall 2025.

In an interview with Fox News, he suggested that “maybe we'll pay our debt by giving them a little crypto or a little bit of #bitcoin,” noting that the digital asset market is “bigger than many countries.” According to him, if the US does not officially adopt cryptocurrency, others may do so.

Russian officials have already expressed concern about such statements. Russian presidential adviser Anton Kobyakov said that the US may try to solve its financial problems at the expense of the rest of the world by “driving everyone into crypto.” In his view, this could become a form of economic and financial pressure.

Analysts, in turn, consider Trump's idea to be more symbolic and rhetorical than practically feasible. The total capitalization of the crypto market, at several trillion dollars, is significantly less than the size of the US national debt, so paying off a significant portion of the debt with cryptocurrency is an extremely difficult task. At the same time, statements of this kind reflect a growing desire to use cryptocurrencies in geopolitical and financial competition.
