In response to Senator Cynthia Lummis's proposed Bitcoin strategic reserve plan, VanEck's head of digital assets research, Matthew Sigel, commented on the X platform, saying, "We did some mathematical calculations on this topic in this month's ChainCheck. Assuming the U.S. Treasury starts purchasing 1 million Bitcoins at a starting price of $200,000 over the next 5 years. Assuming U.S. debt grows at a rate of 5% (compared to an 8% annual compound growth rate over the past 10 years) and the price of Bitcoin compounds at a rate of 25%. In this scenario, by 2050, the U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserves would hold assets equivalent to 36% of the debt."
