Donald Trump expresses a favorable opinion on the potential of Bitcoin as an international reserve currency in the context of the weakening dollar.
Trump's Strategy for Dollar Depreciation
Since the beginning of the year, the dollar has fallen more than 11%, and Morgan Stanley expects another 9% decline in the next year. Trump supports a weaker dollar to stimulate American production and reduce the trade deficit. In 2017, he remarked: *'Our currency is too strong, and we are dying a slow death because of it.'*
Contradictions in Trump's Policy
Trump aims to maintain the dollar as a reserve currency while pursuing policies that imply its depreciation. In 2025, he stated: *'The dollar must remain strong; it is the backbone of our economy and the trust the world places in us.'* Dilma Rousseff, the former president of Brazil, pointed out that this contradiction may force a choice between restoring manufacturing power and preserving the dollar's status.
The Future of Bitcoin in the American Economy
Bitcoin could become a strategic reserve of the U.S. White House advisor Bo Hines announced, *'We are building the infrastructure to establish the strategic reserve and increase our bitcoin holdings.'* Financial institutions like Citibank are already considering Bitcoin as a potential international currency.
The future dynamics in the U.S. economy and Trump's stance on Bitcoin will define the fate of both the dollar and cryptocurrency on the global stage.
