Strike founder and CEO Jack Mallers told Bitcoin Magazine that the debate over whether the Federal Reserve raises or cuts interest rates misses the broader issue, arguing that both paths could lead to inflation as U.S. debt-to-GDP exceeds 120%.

In an interview with Bitcoin Magazine, Mallers said investors should study Japan, where yield-curve control and central-planning intervention are now required to support the currency. He argued that the United States is moving toward a similar situation. His framing places the rate decision within a broader discussion of debt, currency support and the effects of fiat liquidity rather than treating it as an isolated policy variable.

Mallers described Bitcoin as the asset most sensitive to fiat liquidity and, in that environment, the “fastest horse.” He also discussed Strike’s move into Bitcoin-backed lending and the company’s effort to build a full Bitcoin financial stack under one roof. The interview therefore links Mallers’ macroeconomic view with Strike’s stated product direction, while leaving the outcomes of those developments dependent on future policy and market conditions.

The interview was published by Bitcoin Magazine and written by Patrick Green.
