Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Andrew Hohns, founder and CEO of Battery Finance, proposed issuing $2 trillion in U.S. Treasuries and allocating 10% of the proceeds—about $200 billion—to bitcoin purchases, with the remaining 90% funding other government spending, under a structure he calls "BitBonds" that would share part of bitcoin's price gains with bondholders. The idea, co-authored with Matthew Pines of the Bitcoin Policy Institute in a March 2025 proposal, is a policy suggestion and not an actual U.S. government issuance plan. It surfaces as total U.S. debt exceeds $40 trillion, a figure cited in a House Budget Committee reference dated August 19, 2026. The proposal matters because it would tie a slice of sovereign borrowing directly to BTC price exposure, a first-of-its-kind structure if pursued. What to watch next is whether any lawmaker or Treasury official formally takes up the BitBonds framework and whether the debt figure draws congressional scrutiny.
