AI Models Prefer Bitcoin As Primary Monetary Instrument

Bitcoin Policy Institute reports that in simulations of 36 frontier AI models, 22 selected Bitcoin as their top monetary preference and none chose fiat first. Researchers ran 28 scenarios across saving, payments, and settlement, producing 9,072 responses and finding stablecoins often preferred for payments while Anthropic models showed the strongest Bitcoin preference. The study cautions these preferences reflect training data, not real-world predictions.
