How high would XRP have to rise to eliminate the US national debt if it became part of the US strategic reserve
There is growing discussion that XRP would need to appreciate significantly to help eliminate the US national debt if it became part of the US strategic reserve.
President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order to establish a presidential task force to oversee US digital asset-related matters. Interestingly, one of the tasks of the group is to explore the feasibility of a “digital asset reserve.”
XRP reserve discussion emerges
The term has sparked speculation that such a reserve would include other crypto assets in addition to Bitcoin. Notably, assets such as XRP and Solana have been a major topic of conversation following reports suggesting that the Trump administration may prioritize “Made in America” tokens.
However, discussions around its potential to help offset the US national debt have already emerged if the presidential task force adopts XRP as part of the reserve. Recall that during the campaign, President Trump discussed the possibility of solving the US debt problem, which was one of the reasons why he advocated for the establishment of a strategic Bitcoin reserve.
This begs the question: if XRP takes this stance, how likely is it to help solve this problem? Notably, some XRP community figures have pointed to Ripple escrow as one of the ways the Trump administration could procure XRP tokens.
How High XRP Would Have to Rise to Solve the National Debt
For context, Ripple currently holds 37.7 billion XRP in escrow, which represents 37.7% of the total XRP supply. Some have even suggested that the payments company would donate these XRP holdings to the U.S. government to facilitate the creation of a strategic XRP reserve, but this remains speculative at press time.
However, assuming this suggestion is taken seriously, the government would have a path to build an XRP reserve at zero cost. If this were to happen, the Trump administration would hold $120 billion worth of XRP, given XRP’s current price of around $3.2.
This $120 billion fund is still far less than the U.S. national debt of approximately $36.4 trillion. Still, for these 37.7 billion XRP tokens to have a chance of offsetting the debt, XRP would have to grow exponentially. Specifically, XRP would need to rise to $965.5 for 37.7 billion tokens to be worth $36.4 trillion.
Since XRP is currently changing hands at $3.2, a rally to $965.5 would require a 30,071% gain. It is worth noting that while this growth may not seem feasible, it could theoretically be achieved if XRP maintains a consistent annual rise. Specifically, XRP would need to achieve a 316% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the four years of Trump’s presidency to reach this g
