There is some important news for people interested in crypto. Former President Trump recently shared some statements that could strongly impact Bitcoin in 2026.
New unemployment data has been released and it is better than expected, meaning fewer people are without jobs. At the same time, inflation data shows prices are rising slowly and are likely below 2%. When unemployment goes down and inflation stays low, it shows the economy is strong and stable. This gives the central bank confidence that the economy is healthy. Because of these conditions, markets like Bitcoin can benefit, as investors expect more supportive economic policies ahead.
The economy looks healthy, which helped Bitcoin rise a little recently. However, there is still an open price gap near $88,200, so it's not very positive about Bitcoin in the short term and expects some weakness. In the long term, though, the situation is important because inflation and employment goals are already being met. Since the economy is stable, the central bank does not need to cut interest rates or print more money right now. Doing that could increase inflation again, which is a risk. Overall, short-term caution remains, but long-term conditions are changing in a meaningful way.
When banks are given more money, people borrow more and start spending, which allows businesses to raise prices and causes inflation. Because of this risk, the central bank prefers to keep things as they are instead of adding more money to the system. However, Trump has a different plan. He needs to refinance about $9.5 trillion in debt within a short time period, mostly between January and June. To do this, the government must issue new bonds, and this situation could push policymakers to change their approach to interest rates and liquidity.
With interest rates around 4%, the U.S. government has to pay hundreds of billions of dollars just in interest, which is a big waste of money. If rates were reduced closer to 1%, the savings would be huge and that money could be used for other important needs. Trump understands this problem and believes interest costs matter a lot. Because of this, he plans to appoint a new Federal Reserve chair soon. The leading choices are Kevin Walsh and Kevin Hassett, and both support lower interest rates and policies that make borrowing cheaper.
While the central bank focuses on its goals, the government still needs to reduce how much it pays in interest. The two possible new Federal Reserve leaders are supportive of crypto and lower interest rates. Trump is pushing his own form of money support by increasing military spending from $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion. He said this extra cost would be covered by tariff income, but so far the money collected is much less than expected. There is also a chance that some of this tariff money may have to be returned if the courts rule the tariffs illegal. If that happens, the government may need to create hundreds of billions of dollars more, which could increase money supply and impact markets like crypto.
The extra money needed will likely be created by printing new money. Around $200 billion worth of mortgage-backed securities may be bought by institutions, which is a form of quantitative easing. This puts fresh cash into banks, increases available capital, and reduces financial stress, especially for smaller banks. If interest rates are also lowered under new leadership at the Federal Reserve, borrowing becomes cheaper. Together, more money in the system and lower rates mean higher liquidity, which can strongly impact markets like crypto.
The government is shifting toward a loose monetary policy that essentially forces "quantitative easing" on the economy. By printing money to fund major projects—like the proposed acquisition of Greenland—and implementing the 2025 tax cuts on tips and general income, the administration is bypassing traditional Federal Reserve controls. These massive liquidity injections, overseen by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, are expected to create an inflationary "tailwind" starting in February. While this may cause a period of market consolidation rather than a severe crash, the full impact of this high-risk liquidity won't be truly visible until 2027.making this year a key time to accumulate.$BTC $BTC
