VanEck Executive: Bitcoin Bonds May Help the U.S. Refinance its $14 Trillion Debt

According to Cointelegraph, VanEck's research director has proposed a new form of U.S. Treasury bond, partially backed by Bitcoin, to help refinance the $14 trillion U.S. debt.

Matthew Sigel presented this concept called "BitBonds" at the "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Summit" on April 15, 2025 - a type of U.S. Treasury bond with Bitcoin exposure. He stated that this new type of 10-year bond would consist of 90% traditional U.S. Treasury bonds and 10% Bitcoin exposure, aiming to attract both the U.S. Department of Treasury and global investors simultaneously.

He added that even in extreme cases where Bitcoin becomes worthless, BitBonds could still save costs for the United States when refinancing approximately $14 trillion in debt due within the next three years.
