VanEck Predicts the United States Could Reduce Its National Debt by 36% by 2050 by Adopting Bitcoin as a Strategic Reserve

Asset management giant VanEck has proposed an intriguing plan to help reduce the United States' national debt. According to VanEck, adopting Bitcoin as a strategic reserve could significantly lower the debt by 2050. This idea aligns with Senator Cynthia Lummis's Bitcoin bill, which proposes that the U.S. government accumulate 1 million Bitcoins within five years to ease the financial burden on future generations.

VanEck's analysis suggests that if the U.S. debt continues to grow at an annual rate of 5%, and Bitcoin appreciates at an annual rate of 25%, then by 2049, Bitcoin investments could reduce U.S. national debt by a staggering $42 trillion. At that point, Bitcoin's value could reach $42 million per coin, making it a major player in the global financial system.

The firm also forecasts that Bitcoin could represent 18% of the world's total financial assets by 2049, assuming global assets grow from $900 trillion to nearly $3,000 trillion over the next 25 years. This could position Bitcoin as a central asset in the global economy.

Mathew Sigel, VanEck's head of research, believes that Bitcoin could transform global finance. He envisions Bitcoin becoming a key settlement currency for international trade, offering countries an alternative to the U.S. dollar, especially for nations under U.S. sanctions.

To help kickstart the plan, VanEck suggests several policy changes, including halting the sale of Bitcoin from U.S. asset forfeiture reserves and using the U.S. Exchange Stabilization Fund to begin purchasing Bitcoin. They also recommend revaluing gold certificates to current market prices, which could boost the reserve.

While the proposal has garnered attention, some experts are skeptical. Venture capitalist Nic Carter questioned whether such a reserve would truly benefit the U.S. dollar, while economist Peter Schiff proposed an alternative idea: the creation of a new U.S. digital currency, USAcoin, capped at 21 million coins.
