BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, has issued a stark warning regarding the U.S. dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency.

In his latest annual letter, Fink emphasized that the U.S. faces significant economic challenges, particularly concerning its growing national debt.

He stated that if the U.S. continues on its fiscal trajectory, Bitcoin will emerge as a viable alternative to the dollar.

Fink’s concerns center around the increasing U.S. national debt, which has surpassed 100% of the country’s GDP.

He warned that if this trend continues, it could lead to a situation where the U.S. struggles to maintain its global financial position.

Considering that the interest on the national debt is projected to be more than $952 billion this year, the fiscal pressure may intensify and cause potential significant impacts.

Fink noted that if current trends continue, the federal government of the United States will have a permanent deficit by 2030, whereby all federal revenue would be directed to debt servicing.

If these issues persist, then confidence in the U.S. dollar is likely to decrease. He said that, since this year, presumably Bitcoin or other digital assets could be considered less risky and offer an opportunity to get rid of the risk associated with assets in U.S. dollars.

This statement comes amid criticism of Bitcoin’s status as digital gold by Peter Schiff due to recent price decline and volatility.

Fink also pointed out that the fact that Bitcoin is free from the control of the conventional institutions and accepts it in exchange for goods and services make it very attractive to investors especially during inflationary times.
