The head of digital asset research at VanEck indicated that a strategic Bitcoin
$93,806 reserve could help the U.S. pay off its rapidly increasing national debt within approximately 25 years.
**Benefits of Bitcoin Reserves**
Matthew Sigel, a VanEck executive, demonstrated via social media how a strategic Bitcoin reserve might improve the U.S. financial situation by 2050. According to Sigel’s data, accumulating one million Bitcoins over five years would yield a value of $42.4 trillion by 2049, while the national debt is projected to reach $119.3 trillion.
**Senator Lummis’s Proposal**
In July, Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming announced her intention to propose legislation that would enable the U.S. government to accumulate one million Bitcoins within five years.
“The purpose of a strategic Bitcoin reserve is to clearly and strategically pay off the government debt that burdens the American people.” – Cynthia Lummis
Sigel’s calculations suggest that if the U.S. Treasury began buying Bitcoin over five years and the BTC price demonstrated even a 25% compound growth, the strategic Bitcoin reserve could hold assets equivalent to 36% of the debt by 2050. These predictions support Senator Lummis’s call for establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve for the U.S.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price stands at $93,839. This strategic reserve could assist future generations in alleviating the burden of debt. However, significant discussions remain regarding how such a reserve would be managed and its potential impact on the market. Powell has already expressed opposition, and some Republicans are also hesitant. Creating a Bitcoin reserve could initiate a new era in the U.S. financial strategies.
