Next US President Could Fight Massive Inflation by Using Bitcoin to Back Treasuries: Macro Guru Luke Gromen
Macroeconomics expert Luke Gromen says the winner of November’s US presidential election could do something to effectively control rising inflation rates.
In a new interview on YouTube channel What Bitcoin Did, podcaster Peter McCormack asks Gromen what the next US president can do to strengthen the dollar and reverse the trajectory of “massive inflation.”
Gromen says one way to combat inflation now is to offer long-term Treasuries that come with low yields. According to the macro guru, investors will flock to the offering even if the interest rate is low if participants are rewarded with Bitcoin (BTC).
“We’re going to cut the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond, we’re going to issue $5 trillion in 30-year Treasury bonds at 2.5%, and every single one of them will get a boost from Bitcoin…
You can base it on the percentage of par reached on the day you issue them.
There is no credit risk to these bonds. There will never be any credit risk to these bonds. The only risk of holding a long-term Treasury is [or a] The value of a long-term sovereign bond in any country is really the value of the currency.
And I do that, I eliminate all inflation risk.”
A 30-year Treasury bond yielding 2.5% suggests that interest rates are stable for a long period of time.
Gromen explains that large companies rely on interest rates to determine the cost of capital. If interest rates change from time to time, these companies would have to adjust their prices to cover the additional cost of borrowed capital.
According to the macro expert, stable interest rates allow large companies to plan years ahead, knowing full well that the cost of capital will not change significantly. He notes that a fixed interest rate would allow corporations to compete and become highly productive.
Gromen believes that the scenario will eventually lead to price stability for goods and services.
“For so many years, Wall Street has controlled the political discussion in Washington… But the real economy, for most of us, when the lights come on, is this real market that needs to have some semblance of the real cost of capital for 10-, 20-, and 30-year projects…
This cost of capital needs to be solid [and] well understood for us to strategically do what we are trying to do and that is not being allowed.”

The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has digitized 42 million car titles using blockchain, it was reported by Reuters, through technology company Oxhead Alpha on the Avalanche blockchain and designed to detect fraud and facilitate the securities transfer process.
“This is an incredible development for crypto,” Cuban, best known as an investor on TV’s Shark Tank and owner of the Dallas Mavericks NBA team, posted on X, joking that U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler could sue the state as part of his hostility toward cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
“The reason this is huge for crypto is because people who hold the tokens will have an app with an Avalanche wallet,” Cuban said. “Tens of millions of Californians having and using a crypto wallet in the next five years, or however long it takes, normalizes the use of wallets and crypto.”
John Wu, president of Avalanche developer Ava Labs, told Reuters that California’s DMV is “creating a wallet that you can download on your phone.”
