Bitcoin becomes cornerstone of Musk’s America Party
Musk’s criticism of fiat money and support for crypto reflect a growing push toward decentralised financial systems in politics.
Elon Musk has announced that Bitcoin will serve as the primary financial asset of his new America Party, marking a move away from traditional currencies. His statement reflects rising distrust in fiat money, which he called ‘hopeless’ due to inflation and debt concerns.
The formation of the America Party follows a political rift between Musk and Donald Trump, triggered by disagreements over economic legislation. The break from the president has given rise to a new political force that sees decentralised finance as a pathway to reform.
Bitcoin’s adoption signals a broader push for transparency and innovation in governance. Musk has long supported digital assets and aims to build a platform encouraging financial sovereignty.
His stance may influence political agendas and regulatory discussions in the months ahead. In addition to Bitcoin, Musk remains a vocal supporter of Dogecoin, pointing to a vision of a multi-asset digital economy.
The America Party’s crypto-centric approach could accelerate mainstream adoption while placing pressure on policymakers to provide more explicit rules for digital finance.
