VanEck predicts that the U.S. could reduce national debt by 35% by 2049 if it builds a reserve of 1 million Bitcoin, according to Senator Cynthia Lummis's proposal. The plan is based on the assumption that the price of Bitcoin increases by an average of 25% each year, reaching $42.3 million per coin by 2049, while national debt rises by 5% each year to $119.3 trillion.
The U.S. could use 198,100 Bitcoin from seized assets and purchase more by selling a portion of its gold reserves or using emergency funds, without needing to print more money or raise taxes. This reserve could reduce national debt by $42 trillion, helping Bitcoin to account for 18% of global financial assets.
