Michael Saylor to Present Bitcoin Debt Strategy in Washington

• Bitcoin advocates to meet in DC on March 11 to discuss national Bitcoin strategy. 
• Strategy CEO Michael Saylor proposes using Bitcoin to offset U.S. national debt.
• Senator Lummis co-hosts “Bitcoin for America” amid crypto policy changes in the US.

A high-profile gathering of Bitcoin advocates, policy experts, and lawmakers is set to convene in Washington, DC, on March 11 to discuss integrating Bitcoin into America’s national strategy. Michael Saylor, the founder and chairman of Strategy, announced on X that his keynote would specifically address “how we pay off the national debt with Bitcoin.”

The invitation-only “Bitcoin for America” forum, organized by the Bitcoin Policy Institute, will feature Senator Cynthia Lummis as an honorary co-host and Michael Saylor as a keynote speaker. The event aims to build consensus around the strategic benefits of expanding Bitcoin as a national asset and inform potential executive and legislative actions. Sessions will look into Bitcoin’s role in the changing global order, its alignment with U.S. strategic interests, and practical approaches to implementing a national Bitcoin strategy.

Saylor’s thesis appears to center on the potential for Bitcoin’s appreciation to outpace national debt growth, potentially allowing strategic Bitcoin reserves to offset or eliminate federal debt obligations over time. This approach would be a major change from traditional monetary policy and debt management strategies.

Senator Lummis, a vocal proponent of cryptocurrency, previously declared that 2025 would mark “the year of Bitcoin digital assets” and committed to developing a comprehensive legal framework for the sector. Her co-hosting of the forum signals growing interest in Bitcoin from elected officials, particularly those seeking to position the United States competitively in the digital asset space.

The forum’s timing coincides with Bitcoin experiencing market volatility, having recently declined to $86,000. This has also raised questions about the near-term price outlook. This market context may influence discussions about optimal timing and strategies for potential national Bitcoin acquisitions.

The Bitcoin Policy Institute has structured the event to allow frank discussion. The website has also mentioned that while select sessions will be live-streamed, the forum will remain closed to the press. The outcome of this forum could influence forthcoming legislative proposals and executive-branch approaches to cryptocurrency. This is important, particularly as the current administration has shown openness to digital asset adoption within appropriate regulatory frameworks.
