Selling Alaska

This is simply a hypothetical exercise; I like Alaska and the Alaskans I have met.

Alaska comprises 570,373 square miles. There are 640 acres per square mile so Alaska is approximately 365,038,720 acres.

Assuming, for the sake of this thread, the USA could find a buyer. Maybe the proceeds could pay off/down the national debt?

Also assume Uncle Sam could offer terms.

How much is it worth?

Best,
