Anthony Scaramucci, SkyBridge Capital’s founder and a well-known voice in financial circles, has a bold perspective on the U.S. debt landscape and Bitcoin’s potential trajectory.
As the nation heads toward a pivotal election on Nov. 5, discussions around debt sustainability and economic strategies have intensified. The U.S. budget deficit for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30 has expanded by 8% to $1.833 trillion – ranking as the third-largest in its history.

This has stoked fears of technical defaults and another debt ceiling impasse. Despite these ominous signals, Scaramucci exudes confidence in America’s ability to sidestep a full-blown debt crisis by adopting a somewhat unconventional path: allowing inflation to inch upward.
“There’s a lot of people who think that the U.S. is about to enter into this tremendous debt crisis. And I believe that we’re going to solve that and we’re going to stop that from happening,” Scaramucci said at the Reuters Global Markets Forum.
This confidence in the U.S. economy contrasts with the caution of many market players who worry that escalating debt could lead to another credit rating downgrade. The strategy he suggests may not be without cost – savers and lower- to middle-income households could feel the pinch as inflation eats into the value of money.

However, Scaramucci implies that this controlled rise in inflation might be the lesser of two evils needed to stabilize economic foundations.
In the battleground of economic blueprints, Scaramucci weighs in with a preference that might surprise some. He favors the economic agenda proposed by Vice President Kamala Harris over that of former President Donald Trump. “I like the Harris plan better. My Wall Street contemporaries don’t,” Scaramucci noted, hinting at the street’s tilt toward Trump’s policies, which are considered more pro-business and light on regulation. For this reason, Wall Street’s betting chips are on Trump, expecting gains tied to deregulation and a market-friendly posture.
