Researchers discuss the possibility of using Bitcoin as a strategic reserve to reduce the U.S. national debt by 2050.

Potential Advantages of Bitcoin Reserves

Matthew Sigel from VanEck showcased how accumulating Bitcoin could positively influence the U.S. economy by 2050. His projections indicate that amassing one million Bitcoins over five years could generate a total value of $42.4 trillion by 2049, while the national debt is estimated to balloon to $119.3 trillion.

Senator Lummis's Legislative Proposal

In July, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis from Wyoming revealed her plan to introduce legislation aimed at allowing the U.S. government to accumulate one million Bitcoins within a five-year timeframe. She stated, 'The purpose of a strategic Bitcoin reserve is to clearly and strategically pay off the government debt that burdens the American people.'

Criticism and Doubts about the Plan

Despite the promising projections, the proposal faces considerable scrutiny. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and some Republican members express reservations about the feasibility and implications of such a reserve.

The question of establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve remains controversial, yet its potential benefits and challenges are actively discussed.
