Bitcoin Treasury bonds may help US refinance $14T debt — VanEck exec
“BitBonds” would allow the US to save money to refinance $14 trillion of debt even in a scenario where Bitcoin “goes to zero,” VanEck’s Matthew Sigel said.
VanEck’s head of research has pitched a new type of US Treasury bond partially backed by Bitcoin to help refinance $14 trillion in US debt.
Matthew Sigel pitched the concept of “BitBonds” — US Treasury bonds with exposure to Bitcoin (BTC) — at the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Summit 2025 on April 15.
The new 10-year bonds would be composed of 90% traditional debt and 10% BTC exposure, Sigel said, appealing to both the Treasury and global investors.
