"The $35 trillion US Treasury debt highlights the importance of Bitcoin as a 'hard currency' and may become a catalyst for Bitcoin's next upward cycle... This may prompt investors to seek other means of storing value such as Bitcoin, which is often seen as a means of hedging against economic inefficiencies." (Cointelegraph)
