Pompliano is chairman and CEO of Procap Financial, a Nasdaq-listed firm that holds bitcoin on its balance sheet. His Sept. 10 <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/APompliano\/status\/2098015669493129565\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">post on X<\/a> tied larger government handouts to higher asset prices. Pompliano wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cTrump announced yesterday that he is going to give out $5,000 stimulus checks. The more money he hands out, the higher bitcoin, gold, and land will go.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On Sept. 9, speaking at the Republican National Committee\u2019s midterm convention in Dallas, Trump promised to send $5,000 to every adult American citizen if Republicans retain control of both the House and Senate in November\u2019s midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal would require congressional approval, and Vice President JD Vance later said the payments would not go to the wealthy, suggesting tariff revenue could fund them. A Sept. 10 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/releases\/2026\/09\/trump-dividend-america-is-winning-and-americans-should-win-with-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">White House statement<\/a> described the proposed payment, called the Trump Dividend, as a way to share what the administration characterized as the country\u2019s economic gains.<\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin Holds Its Ground as Stimulus Hopes Return<\/h2>\n<p>The prospect of government checks revived a familiar bitcoin argument, but the initial price response showed little enthusiasm. The cryptocurrency <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/trumps-5000-dividend-plan-fails-to-move-bitcoins-price-past-78k\/\">traded below $78,000<\/a> early on Sept. 10, after moving mostly between $77,500 and $78,500 since the previous afternoon. Pompliano\u2019s forecast concerns what future distributions could do to asset prices; the market\u2019s immediate reaction remained subdued.<\/p>\n<p>The pandemic offers a precedent for why cash payments attract attention in crypto markets, though the evidence requires care. In April 2020, crypto exchange Coinbase\u2019s chief executive, Brian Armstrong, shared a chart showing a spike in <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/americans-purchase-1200-worth-of-bitcoin-while-7-banks-fumble-with-stimulus-payments\/\">$1,200 deposits<\/a>, while a Binance US representative described deposits of the same amount. The figures matched stimulus checks reaching Americans, suggesting some money may have flowed to exchanges without proving its source or subsequent use.<\/p>\n<h2>The Bigger Question Is What Dollars Will Buy<\/h2>\n<p>Behind the payment debate sits a broader concern for savers: whether holding cash preserves their ability to afford goods and services. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/money-fundamentals\/fundamentals\/what-is-inflation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Inflation reduces purchasing power<\/a> as prices rise, which helps explain bitcoin\u2019s appeal to investors seeking an asset with limited supply. Yet scarcity does not eliminate volatility. Whether government payments lift bitcoin depends partly on recipients choosing to invest, alongside wider economic conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Venture capitalist Tim Draper took the dollar argument further on Sept. 10, describing a potential change in how people spend their money. He <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/crypto-news\/tim-draper-tells-families-stockpile-bitcoin-before-a-run-on-us-dollar\/\">predicted a potential shift away from dollars<\/a> if retailers eventually began accepting only bitcoin. His scenario centers on merchants first accepting the cryptocurrency alongside dollars, then demanding it instead. That would move bitcoin beyond an asset bought with government checks and into the everyday transactions those checks help fund.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/trumps-5000-stimulus-could-send-bitcoin-higher-pompliano-says\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Pompliano links larger government handouts to gains in bitcoin, gold, and land.
