Sign InAmid escalating warnings regarding the sustainability of the U.S. fiscal path, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has proposed a radical solution centered on digital assets. According to reports, Armstrong suggested backing the U.S. dollar with hard assets, specifically Bitcoin, as a strategy to address the $39 trillion national debt. He further emphasized that integrating AI and robotics technologies into the economy could play a pivotal role in boosting GDP growth.
These comments align with growing political momentum for a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve," a concept that has gained traction from prominent figures such as Senator Cynthia Lummis. Compared to traditional assets, Bitcoin is increasingly viewed as "digital gold" capable of hedging against inflation and currency debasement, especially as the U.S. fiscal deficit reaches historic levels per Treasury Department data. This proposal positions Coinbase at the center of the legislative debate over the future of digital finance in Washington.
Regarding market performance, COIN shares stood at $159.07 (at close July 10, 2026), having reached a session high of $167.98. Investors are closely monitoring any legislative shifts that might support Armstrong's proposal, while markets await key economic data such as the U.S. ISM Services PMI, which could provide further signals on macroeconomic strength and the trajectory of monetary policy.
