President Donald Trump announced on Sunday, November 9, that most U.S. citizens would receive “at least” $2,000 in payments funded by revenue from his sweeping tariff program.
The president’s tariff policy, which levies steep import fees on countries such as the U.K., Japan, and South Korea, has so far funneled roughly $195 billion. Accordingly, Trump argues that this revenue can bankroll a national “dividend,” effectively a stimulus check for American households.
As the crypto industry is emerging as one of the sectors most positively affected by these and similar macroeconomic developments, Finbold consulted OpenAI’s leading large language model (LLM), ChatGPT-5, regarding the top 3 cryptos to buy with your $2,000 tariff check.
Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin (BTC) remains the flagship crypto by market cap, enjoying wide acceptance and the most positive mainstream sentiment as the “digital gold” or a hedge against macro uncertainty. What’s more, it’s rebounding on Monday, November 10, climbing back to $104,880 at the time of writing after its plunge below $100,000 last week.
Given the asset’s positive reaction to ongoing tariff discussion, trade policy shifts, and likely cessation of the government shutdown, ChatGPT suggests its appeal as a store of value could go up in the weeks to come.
Accordingly, the AI claims it would dedicate at least half of the $2,000 check to Bitcoin. Nonetheless, it noted that while Bitcoin is “relatively” more stable than most altcoins, it still swings violently, as evidenced by the largely disappointing “Uptober” season.
Ethereum (ETH)
Currently trading at $3,546, Ethereum (ETH) stands out as the foundation of most decentralized finance (DeFi), smart contracts, and Web3 infrastructure.
As Ethereum continues to evolve, ChatGPT predicts its role in Web3 is going to solidify. However, the algorithm noted that competing layer-1 blockchains (L1s) or scaling issues could reduce Ethereum’s dominance.
That is, the ecosystem’s success will depend on developer adoption, regulatory clarity, infrastructure rollouts, and sustained institutional flows. This somewhat agrees with some technical indicators, such as the Rainbow Chart, which suggests that Ethereum might very well be up for a volatile short-term period.
Therefore, the LLM argues that a sum between $600–$800 would be a solid bet on ETH for investors who are seeking long-term growth and infrastructure play but are willing to take a bet.
Solana (SOL)
The third pick, Solana (SOL), is up 3% on the daily chart at the time of writing, trading at $166.28.
Elaborating on its choice, ChatGPT noted that Solana is often cited among the fastest-growing major blockchains in 2025, known for high throughput and low fees. As such, it is arguably a good pick for traders willing to accept higher risk for higher potential return.
Still, while the AI added that SOL might offer more upside compared to BTC and ETH, it remains riskier following previous congestion and technical issues. Thus, the chatbot suggested that only $200–$400 of your $2,000 fund should go into SOL as a “growth bet.”
All in all, ChatGPT suggested a conservative approach when spending your $2,000 “tariff dividend,” choosing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana as the most ideal picks.
These three assets, based on the previous discussion, offer a mix of stability, exposure to a vast area of the crypto infrastructure, and a chance to place a growth bet.
