vanEck proposes bitcoin reserve to reduce us national debt by 42 trillion
VanEck proposes that the U.S. could reduce its national debt by $42 trillion by adopting Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, potentially offsetting 35% of liabilities by 2049. The plan suggests accumulating one million Bitcoins over five years, leveraging existing government holdings and reallocating gold reserves, without requiring taxpayer funding. This initiative aligns with a bill from Senator Cynthia Lummis and aims to position Bitcoin as a dominant global asset, potentially representing 18% of the world's financial assets by mid-century.
us bitcoin reserve could reduce national debt by 35 percent by 2049
The U.S. could cut its national debt by 35% by 2049 by establishing a reserve of 1 million Bitcoin, according to VanEck. This scenario assumes Bitcoin will grow at a 25% annual rate, reaching $42.3 million, while national debt rises to $119.3 trillion. The proposal, linked to Senator Lummis, suggests utilizing seized Bitcoin and selling part of gold reserves to finance the reserve without taxpayer funds.
us government bitcoin acquisition could trigger market volatility and altcoin rise
A proposal by Senator Lummis for the U.S. government to acquire 1 million Bitcoin could lead to short-term price volatility, with expectations of a price pump followed by a rotation back. As Bitcoin consolidates around $100,000, its dominance is expected to decline, paving the way for altcoins to gain traction. Analysts believe Bitcoin will remain a key asset for institutions, with strong demand likely to sustain its price despite potential dips.
