TechFlow news — On December 23, according to Beincrypto, asset management firm VanEck predicted that the United States could reduce its national debt by 36% by 2050 through adopting a strategic Bitcoin reserve. This view aligns with Senator Cynthia Lummis's Bitcoin bill proposal, which suggests the U.S. accumulate 1 million bitcoins within five years to alleviate its debt burden.
VanEck's analysis indicates that if national debt grows at an annual rate of 5% while Bitcoin appreciates at 25% annually, by 2049 Bitcoin investments could reduce U.S. debt by approximately $42 trillion. At that point, Bitcoin’s value would reach $42 million per coin, making it a significant global financial asset. Additionally, VanEck expects Bitcoin to account for 18% of global financial assets by 2049.
Mathew Sigel, VanEck's Head of Research, believes Bitcoin has the potential to reshape the global financial landscape and become a settlement currency for international trade, offering an alternative to the U.S. dollar—especially in countries subject to American sanctions. VanEck recommends that the Trump administration adjust its policies and use the Exchange Stabilization Fund to purchase Bitcoin.
