VanEck projects that the US could lower its national debt by 36% by 2050 through a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. They estimate liabilities may decrease by approximately 42 trillion USD by 2049 due to consistent debt growth and Bitcoin’s appreciation.
Mathew Sigel of VanEck suggests Bitcoin could emerge as a primary settlement currency, especially for countries seeking to bypass US sanctions. However, concerns arise over the feasibility of implementing such a reserve, facing opposition from industry skeptics.
