US Bitcoin Reserves Could Cut National Debt by 35% by 2049: VanEck

According to VanEck , the United States could reduce its national debt by 35% by 2049 if it created a reserve of 1 million Bitcoins, based on a bill by Senator Cynthia Lummis.

Bitcoin is estimated to increase in price at a 25% CAGR to $42.3 trillion, while national debt increases at a 5% CAGR from $37 trillion (2025) to $119.3 trillion. This reserve could offset $42 trillion in liabilities.

VanEck 's bullish scenario predicts Bitcoin to rise at a 25% CAGR, starting at $200,000 by 2025. Bitcoin's current price of $95,360 would need to double to reach the predicted level.

If Bitcoin hits $42.3 million, it will account for about 18% of global financial assets, up sharply from 0.22% currently.

Jack Mallers , CEO of Strike, believes that President Trump could issue an executive order on his first day in office to designate Bitcoin as a reserve asset. The Lummis bill proposes that the United States repurpose 198,100 confiscated Bitcoins and fund the remaining 801,900 Bitcoins through financial resources without printing money or taxing them.

Bitcoin adoption at the state, institutional, and corporate levels will boost the value of Bitcoin and Ethereum. BRICS countries could also increase the use of Bitcoin as a global payment currency.
