- U.S. proposes Bitcoin-backed bonds for strategic reserve per Trump’s order.
- Bitcoin classified as “digital gold” by U.S. in March 2025.
- Proposal aims to refinance $14 trillion federal debt by 2028.
President Trump’s administration has proposed new Bitcoin-backed bonds—BitBonds—on April 1st, aiming to integrate Bitcoin into the national reserve strategy.
This initiative is seen as a move to align with digital asset integration into national finance, potentially redefining U.S. debt management.
Trump’s BitBond Initiative Targets $14 Trillion Debt
The Bitcoin Policy Institute, led by Andrew Hohns and Matthew Pines, proposed BitBonds to implement President Trump’s strategic Bitcoin plan. BitBonds would finance part of the federal debt while increasing Bitcoin reserves. Trump’s designation of Bitcoin as “digital gold” supports this policy.
Interest savings and potential appreciation are key highlights of BitBonds, offering an annual interest rate of 1%, a dramatic reduction from the 4.5% standard. U.S. debt refinancing using Bitcoin presents novel pathways to reduce expenses.
“The introduction of BitBonds represents a revolutionary step in U.S. financial policy, allowing for unprecedented innovation in how we manage federal debt.” – Andrew Hohns, Founder and CEO of Newmarket Capital and Battery Finance
The reaction to this proposal sees considerable interest from financial markets and experts, though some caution against potential volatility. Key figure endorsements emphasize the innovation though implementation challenges remain to be resolved.
Bitcoin’s Role as Digital Gold amidst Volatility
Did you know? The U.S. categorization of Bitcoin as “digital gold” mirrors historical gold reserves, highlighting its growing strategic significance in financial systems.
As of April 1, 2025, Bitcoin’s market cap stands at $1,692,859,226,684, with a dominance of 61.45%. The current price of Bitcoin is $85,303.90, according to CoinMarketCap. Recent activity shows a 24-hour price increase of 2.11%, although the asset experienced a decrease of 19.23% over the last 60 days.
Coincu analysts foresee innovative financial avenues emerging as Bitcoin integrates into sovereign finance. Regulatory frameworks will require careful adaptation to stabilize the intersection of digital assets and traditional financial strategies. Technological advances and policy updates remain crucial for sustaining momentum in this sector.
