AI Agents Pick Bitcoin Over US Dollar As Best Form of Money, According To Crypto Think Tank

AI agents strongly prefer to transact with Bitcoin over other forms of money, according to a new study.

Researchers at the Bitcoin Policy Institute say they ran 9,072 controlled experiments across 36 leading AI models.

In the blank-slate scenarios, 48.3% of responses chose Bitcoin as the preferred monetary instrument, more than any other option.

Overall, 91% picked digitally native money over traditional fiat and bank money. Not a single model ranked fiat first.

Bitcoin dominated long-term savings decisions, chosen by 79.1% as the best store of value.

Stablecoins led everyday payments at 53.2%, with Bitcoin at 36%, showing BTC is preferred for holding value, while stablecoins are for spending.

Smarter models favored Bitcoin even more. Anthropic’s lineup rose from 41% to 91% Bitcoin preference as capabilities grew.

Preferences stayed rock-solid across temperature settings and random seeds.

The study concludes AI agents will demand Bitcoin infrastructure and self-custody as they gain economic power.

Researchers say they will expand to additional models in the future, along with fine tuning their prompt framing to eliminate potential bias. Follow us on X, Facebook and Telegram
