Anthony Pompliano, founder of Pomp Investments, argued that holding both Bitcoin and artificial intelligence-related assets could be an effective strategy for addressing the United States’ massive debt problem.
In a post on X on September 3, Pompliano said that U.S. federal government debt had surpassed $40 trillion and that annual interest costs had also exceeded $1 trillion. He divided the government’s potential solutions into two broad options. If it chooses to expand the money supply and reduce the real value of its debt, Bitcoin could benefit as a hedge against a decline in the value of the dollar. He also suggested that Bitcoin could potentially rise above $1 million if this scenario continued for an extended period.
Conversely, if the government seeks to reduce the debt burden by boosting productivity and economic growth, he believes artificial intelligence will be the key driver. Under his investment thesis, Bitcoin could serve as an asset offering protection against currency depreciation, while AI-related assets could capture the benefits of higher productivity and growth.
