VanEck estimates that if Bitcoin appreciates at 25% annually , the reserve could offset 18% of the projected U.S. debt.

This assumes debt grows at 5% annually reaching $116 trillion by 2049 (up from $36 trillion in 2025 ) While this theory is highly optimistic, it underscores Bitcoin 's potential as a sovereign reserve asset.

Arkansas is set to become the first state to establish a Bitcoin reserve.
