If the United States wants to pay off its national debt with BTC, how much does the BTC price need to rise to???


Assumed conditions
1. Total U.S. National Debt: As of January 2025, the total U.S. national debt is approximately $35.8 trillion.
2. Total global supply of BTC: The total supply of BTC is 21 million.
3. The number of BTC held by the United States: Assuming the U.S. government holds half of the world's BTC, which is 10.5 million coins.
In order to pay off the $35.8 trillion in national debt, if the U.S. government controls half of the world's BTC (i.e., 10.5 million), then the price of BTC needs to reach $3,409,523.81 per coin, and the U.S. can rely on its BTC holdings to pay off all the national debt.
Compare current forecast
According to current market predictions, the price of BTC could reach a maximum of $200,000 to $350,000 by 2025. Therefore, to reach a price of $3,409,523.81 per coin, BTC would need to achieve an extremely large rise in the coming years. Do you think this is possible #BTC# #PI# #ETH# ?

If the U.S. government has 10 billion PI in hand and wants to pay off 35 trillion in national debt, it would only take each PI to rise to 350000/100=3500 dollars each.
