Metaplanet CEO: AI Drives Capital Concentration, Bitcoin May Become Digitally Held Capital by Machines

BTC3,43%

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich stated on X platform that the benefits brought by productivity prosperity almost entirely flow to the owners of computation and capital, rather than workers or governments. He said, “Every company holding cash or bonds is extracting 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 financial systems, they bypass traditional banking and payment networks, choosing to transact using digital assets. When value storage is needed, AI will not park funds in money market funds but will hold digital capital—especially Bitcoin. As the AI economy expands, digital assets may become the primary store of value in the machine age.
