The idea of Bitcoin reserve as a solution to U.S. debt has been bandied about since VanEck released its report. This report puts the value of Bitcoin at $42 trillion by 2049, wiping out $42 trillion of U.S. debt, in a bold vision beyond just being a digital currency. VanEck’s report supports Senator Lummis’ bill to have the U.S. buy 1 million Bitcoins over 5 years. With Bitcoin growing 25% a year, proponents believe it could be a part of the national financial system.

Bitcoin as a Debt Management Tool

The VanEck report assumes a scenario in which the value of Bitcoin allows the U.S. to pay 35% of its national debt by 2050. It projects a price of $200,000 per Bitcoin in 2025, which can appreciate annually and take the total market cap to $42 trillion by 2049.

“Bitcoin’s consistent growth makes it a promising asset for balancing national finances,” said Matthew Sigel, Head of Digital Asset Research at VanEck, in the December 20 report. Obviously, this is a pretty optimistic scenario, assuming everything goes right and that Bitcoin is widely accepted as a global asset.

Analyst Nathan Frankovitz of VanEck said if the three characteristics of Bitcoin- scarce, decentralized, and growth- could be monetized, then long-term stability in the U.S. economy would be a given.

Global Consequences

Beyond U.S. debt reduction, a strategic Bitcoin reserve could change the global financial system. In fact, the VanEck report says by 2049, Bitcoin could be $42.3 million per coin, 18% of global assets-up from 0.22% today.

Sigel said Bitcoin could be a settlement currency in international trade, especially for countries that want to avoid the U.S. dollar due to sanctions.

“It’s very possible Bitcoin will be used as a settlement currency for global trade by countries wanting to avoid the parabolic increase in USD sanctions that have been imposed,” Sigel said.

This may lead to Bitcoin being a global reserve asset for emerging markets trying to break their over-reliance on the U.S. dollar.

Steps to Adoption

VanEck has outlined very concrete steps to integrate Bitcoin into the U.S. financial system. Part of the suggestion is to hold off on selling Bitcoin from U.S. asset forfeiture reserves, which reportedly hold 198,100 BTC. Keeping these on-hand reserves would be a good starting point with no tax implications:.

The report also suggests revaluing U.S. gold reserves to market prices and using the Exchange Stabilization Fund to buy Bitcoin. This would get a strategic Bitcoin reserve faster than waiting for full legislation.

These preliminary actions, according to VanEck, would make the U.S. a leader in the rapidly changing digital world.

Criticism and Alternatives

Despite the promise, the idea of a Bitcoin reserve has been met with criticism. Critics say it won’t guarantee the desired financial stability or strengthen the U.S. dollar.

Peter Schiff, an economist who has been a vocal Bitcoin sceptic, countered with the creation of a new digital asset called USAcoin instead. He says an institutionally created national reserve asset by the U.S. government would be better for them than Bitcoin.

Meanwhile, Nic Carter, a venture capitalist, expressed doubt about the full balance sheet offsetting of the national debt with Bitcoin reserves and listed market volatility, among other adoption risks.

Conclusion

A Bitcoin reserve is a pretty wild financial idea that could change the face of cryptocurrencies in national and global economies. For VanEck this is transformational, for others it’s cautionary, as a result, proper planning and risk assessment should be exercised.

As the U.S. figures this out, the debate on Bitcoin in national strategies keeps highlighting its importance in the global economy.
