Trump Promises to Pay Americans "Tariff Dividends" - Analysts Predict Growing Interest in Bitcoin

US President Donald Trump announced that most citizens will receive payments of at least $2,000 as part of the "tariff dividend" program. These funds, he said, will come from revenues generated by the imposed import duties. The initiative aims to redistribute profits from trade taxes among low- and middle-income Americans.
In a post on the Truth Social platform, Trump noted that the payments will not apply to high-income individuals, emphasizing that such a policy will ensure a fair distribution of economic benefits. The president also reiterated his defense of the tariff policy, claiming that it is thanks to it that the US has achieved economic stability, record stock market growth, and minimal inflation. He emphasized that the country is receiving trillions of dollars and will soon begin paying off its national debt, which exceeds $37 trillion.
However, the fate of the initiative depends on the Supreme Court's decision, which is reviewing the legality of the tariffs. According to Kalshi, the likelihood of the court upholding the tariff program is about 23%, while Polymarket estimates it's 25%. Therefore, the future of the payments remains uncertain.
Earlier, Trump rhetorically questioned his presidential powers: if the head of state can stop trade with another country, why can't he impose tariffs for the sake of national security? This argument became key in his address to the Supreme Court.
Market experts viewed the announcement as a possible stimulus for economic growth and a positive signal for investors. Analysts from The Kobeissi Letter noted that approximately 85% of the country's adult population could receive payments, reminiscent of financial support programs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Such an injection of funds into the economy, they believe, could lead to higher prices for risky assets, including Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
However, analysts warn of potential long-term risks. According to Bitcoin expert Simon Dixon, if the funds received are not invested, their value will quickly decline under inflationary pressure. Investor Anthony Pompliano added that markets typically respond to financial stimulus with growth: "Stocks and Bitcoin always react the same way—they rise."
Ultimately, analysts note, "tariff dividends" could temporarily revive markets and increase interest in crypto assets, but in the long term, they will lead to increased inflationary pressure and a weakening dollar. Meanwhile, Trump's meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in late October has already had a positive impact on the Bitcoin price, strengthening investor confidence in the link between tariff policy and crypto market dynamics.
