The Bitcoin Policy Institute has proposed a "Bitcoin bond" plan, where the United States issues a Treasury bond instrument that combines debt and Bitcoin investment to ease the pressure of the $36 trillion national debt. In the plan, 90% of the bond proceeds are used to operate the government, and 10% are used to purchase Bitcoin. It is expected that at least $2 trillion in bonds will be issued to purchase about 2.2 million BTC (at a plan of $90,000 per coin) to support the "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" policy that took effect on March 6. BPI said that additional budgets are needed and $354.4 billion can be saved in 10 years; if the price of Bitcoin grows at the historical median, the proceeds may be significantly reduced or even eliminated, and the future national debt burden may be eliminated.
