AI Models Show Strong Preference for Bitcoin Over Fiat Currencies
- 22 out of 36 AI models selected Bitcoin as their top monetary choice.
- No model chose fiat currency as its first preference in simulations.
- Anthropic models showed the highest Bitcoin preference at an average of 68%.
- Stablecoins were preferred over Bitcoin for exchange and settlement, with rates of up to 53.2% and 43%, respectively.
- The study involved AI models from six labs including Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek, xAI, and MiniMax.
A recent study found that a majority of AI models favor Bitcoin over traditional fiat currencies when acting as autonomous economic agents. The research included diverse scenarios reflecting core monetary functions like saving and payments.
Anthropic’s models led with a strong preference for Bitcoin, while stablecoins were more popular for transactions and settlements across other models. This coherent pattern across different AI labs highlights the potential role of cryptocurrencies in future economic activities conducted by AI systems.(Source)
