US Treasury Expands Debt Donation Options Amid Massive Debt Load

The U.S. Treasury has expanded its Pay.gov debt donation form to include PayPal and Venmo as payment options. According to NS3.AI, despite this addition, the average monthly donations amount to approximately $120,000, which is minimal compared to the nation's $39 trillion debt. Treasury data indicates that the donation program has been in operation since 1961, accumulating around $67 million since 1996, with about $30,000 collected in February 2026. In parallel, the BITCOIN Act of 2025, which proposes the acquisition of 1 million BTC over a five-year period, is currently stalled in committee. This legislative proposal aims to integrate Bitcoin into the national financial strategy, but its progress remains uncertain.
