Metaplanet CEO: AI Economy Spurs Digital Capital, Bitcoin May Become Machines' Preferred Store of Value

Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich posted on the X platform, stating that the prosperity brought by productivity almost entirely flows to the owners of computation and capital, rather than to laborers or governments. He remarked: 'Every company holding cash or bonds is demanding from a system whose tax base is disappearing, and the system's response will be to print money. This trend is accelerating.' Simon Gerovich further emphasized that AI agents do not have bank accounts or brand loyalty. When machines optimize the financial system, they will bypass traditional banking systems and payment networks, opting to use digital assets for transactions. When it comes to storing value, AI will not park funds in money market accounts but will hold digital capital—especially Bitcoin. As the AI economy expands, digital assets may become the primary store of value in the machine era.
