Strive Executive Links Long-Term Bitcoin Potential to US Fiscal Imbalances

Matt Cole argues that escalating government debt and bond market interventions could drive Bitcoin value upward against the dollar.

Matt Cole, chief executive of Bitcoin treasury firm Strive, stated on Bloomberg Crypto that Bitcoin could rise indefinitely against the U.S. dollar, attributing this trajectory to a deteriorating federal debt situation rather than token scarcity alone. The comments coincide with the broader digital asset market reclaiming a $3 trillion valuation since January.

Cole asserted that the 10-year Treasury yield would exceed 10% without interventions from the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department. While noting that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has temporarily contained long-term rates, Cole claimed such measures merely postpone an inevitable fiscal reckoning amid persistent federal spending.

This thesis supports Strive's projection of a 50% compound annual growth rate for Bitcoin through 2030, a figure Cole described as conservative based on previous market cycles. He also highlighted that Strive’s dividend-paying SATA preferred stock outperformed flat Bitcoin prices by over 100% in 2026.

Defending the corporate treasury strategy, Cole maintained that the accumulation model remains sound for disciplined entities with sustainable debt structures, framing the investment as a hedge on persistent U.S. fiscal dysfunction.

These two are not the same thing, and one does not produce the other. The left is how this single article reads, from its tone alone. The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
