Bitcoin as a Debt Solution? Riot Platform Executive Makes Bold Proposal

In a recent X post, Pierre Rochard, VP of Research at Riot Platform, proposed a plan for the U.S. to address its national debt using Bitcoin reserves.

He suggested that by purchasing Bitcoin and holding it for 20 years, the U.S. could eventually use these reserves to pay off its debt. This idea has generated considerable buzz in the crypto community.

Rochard outlined a three-step strategy: buy Bitcoin, hold it for two decades, and then use it to clear national debt. His proposal has ignited discussions, especially given the current economic concerns about a potential U.S. recession. He believes this approach could offer a solution to the country’s economic issues.

Some skeptics questioned the feasibility, pointing out the unknown future size of the national debt. Rochard responded with confidence, predicting that Bitcoin’s value will exceed the debt in the long run, underscoring his strong belief in Bitcoin’s potential.
