Growing anxiety over U.S. fiscal policy has brought cryptocurrency into sharper focus, with investors debating its role as a hedge against government debt and monetary instability. Market commentators have increasingly weighed in on digital assets as the U.S. national debt soars, and the conversation is being shaped in part by high-profile voices.
CNBC ‘Mad Money’ host Jim Cramer commented on Sept. 29 on social media platform X with a direct message: “Buy crypto.” His post also includes a debt clock showing the national debt above $37.6 trillion and the average family’s share exceeding $95,000.
Cramer was also asked on CNBC on the same day what he would say to young people who believe the future is crypto. He responded: “I’d say crypto’s fine.” The Mad Money host added:
I’m using it as insurance, and it’s an insurance against the $37 trillion that we owe.
Cramer’s relationship with crypto has been inconsistent over time. He purchased bitcoin in late 2020, then sold most of his holdings by mid-2021. In 2022, he voiced skepticism, calling crypto a “gigantic con.” Yet by early 2024, he acknowledged its durability, remarking “you can’t kill it” and describing its rebound as “a remarkable comeback.”
He has previously defended his support for digital assets amid concerns over national debt and government spending. In November 2024, Cramer said, “I’ve liked crypto for a very long time, mostly because I know there’s a huge constituency of investors who want to buy something that can protect them from our government’s busted budget.” He also said, “I think bitcoin, ethereum and maybe even some other cryptocurrencies deserve a spot in your portfolio, too.”
While critics highlight the so-called “Inverse Cramer” effect, in which assets he supports often decline, his latest stance underscores an enduring debate: whether digital currencies can provide real protection against sovereign debt risks.
