Triblu Founder Says XRP Holders Will Become Millionaires, and Billionaires—Here’s Why

Triblu Founder Joshua Dalton suggests XRP could be a better strategic reserve option for addressing the U.S. national debt.

His commentary comes amid growing speculation on the back of President Donald Trump’s crypto executive order. For context, the order assigns a newly formed Presidential Crypto Team to assess the feasibility of a digital asset reserve. 

While Bitcoin has dominated these conversations, the executive order specifically refers to “digital assets,” leaving room for alternatives like XRP or Solana, which are linked to American companies. Interestingly, previous reports have suggested the presidency could prioritize American-founded assets.

Triblu Founder Says XRP Holders Will Become Millionaires, Billionaires because of the following reasons.

XRP More Trustworthy

As these discussions take form, Dalton, the founder of IT service company Triblu LLC, triggered controversy with a new stance favoring XRP as a more trustworthy choice for a U.S. strategic reserve over Bitcoin. 

Many people won’t like what I say below.

“Bitcoin cannot be the official currency for the United States’ reserves because Satoshi Nakamoto is still unknown and it could be the currency operated by China. The government can 💯 trust XRP because it is operated by @Ripple and 💯…

Dalton claims that Bitcoin’s anonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, poses a risk despite most voices agreeing that such anonymity is a favorable factor. He argues that Nakamoto’s hidden identity leaves the door open to potential manipulation, especially if the entity happens to be linked to foreign entities like China.

On the other hand, Dalton highlighted Ripple’s role in XRP’s operation as an advantage. He believes the transparency and American roots of Ripple make XRP a safer and more reliable option for the U.S. government. In his opinion, relying on XRP aligns with national interests. 

XRP Reserve for Solving US National Debt 

Dalton then suggested that XRP could help in addressing the national debt issue. It bears mentioning that industry leaders like VanEck’s Matthew Sigel believe Bitcoin is the appropriate option for this.

For context, the U.S. national debt currently stands at $36.2 trillion and continues to grow. At this figure, even offsetting 80% of the U.S. debt, amounting to $28.9 trillion, would demand a massive Bitcoin price appreciation, considering Senator Cynthia Lummis’ plan to procure 1 million BTC.

For 1 million BTC to offset $28.9 trillion debt, representing 80% of the national debt, Bitcoin would need to appreciate a price of $28.96 million per token. This would demand a 27,549% increase from the current Bitcoin price of $104,741.

Meanwhile, individuals who believe XRP is a better alternative have discussed the possibility of the U.S. government taking control of Ripple’s escrowed XRP balance, which amount to 37.7 billion tokens, according to data from XRPScan.

With such holdings, XRP price would have to rally to a massive $786 to offset 80% of the total national debt worth $28.96 trillion. As XRP currently changes hands at $3.15, a surge to $786 would necessitate a 24,852% increase. While this is lower than the required rise in Bitcoin’s price, it still represents a massive growth rate.

A Millionaire Dream

In addition to this, Dalton asserted that XRP holders could emerge as millionaires and billionaires while Bitcoin proponents remain “stuck” with industry leaders like MicroStrategy Chairman Michael Saylor, whose firm has continued to accumulate Bitcoin.

Notably, for XRP holders with balances of, say, 10,000 XRP tokens to reach millionaire or billionaire status, the XRP price would need to rise substantially. For 10,000 XRP, currently worth $31,500, to rake in $1 million, XRP must rise 3,074% to $100. However, to hold $1 billion with 10,000 XRP, its price would need to surge 3,174,503% to $100,000.
