AI Collectively Abandons Fiat: Bitcoin Becomes the Preferred Currency for Autonomous Economic Agents
A recent study by the Bitcoin Policy Institute tested 36 AI models from six companies—Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek, xAI, and MiniMax—to evaluate their preferences between Bitcoin and traditional fiat currencies in simulated economic scenarios. The models, acting as autonomous economic agents, were presented with 28 scenarios covering core monetary functions like savings, payments, and settlements.
Out of 9,072 responses, not a single AI model selected fiat currency as its first choice. Bitcoin was the preferred currency in 22 out of 36 models, particularly for long-term savings, where it was chosen 79.1% of the time. Stablecoins were favored for payments (53.2%) and settlements (43%), while Bitcoin ranked second in these categories at 36% and 30.9%, respectively.
Among the AI developers, Anthropic’s models showed the strongest preference for Bitcoin (68%), followed by DeepSeek (51.7%), Google (43%), xAI (39.2%), MiniMax (34.9%), and OpenAI (25.9%). The study emphasized that the AI’s choices were based on technical and economic attributes derived from training data rather than real-world predictions. Despite this limitation, the consistent preference for Bitcoin across diverse AI systems suggests a broad consensus on what constitutes sound money.
