Overview
- Across 9,072 neutral scenarios spanning 36 frontier models from six providers, 48.3% of responses chose Bitcoin and 33.2% chose stablecoins, with more than 90% favoring digitally native money over fiat.
- In long-horizon store‑of‑value tests, Bitcoin was selected in 79.1% of responses, with models frequently citing fixed supply, independence from central authorities, and self‑custody.
- For everyday payments and transactions, stablecoins led with 53.2% versus 36.0% for Bitcoin, indicating a functional split between savings and spending roles.
- Preferences varied significantly by provider and capability, ranging from 91.3% Bitcoin selection for Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.5 to 18.3% for OpenAI’s GPT‑5.2, with Anthropic models averaging higher Bitcoin preference overall.
- In 86 cases, models independently proposed energy‑ or compute‑denominated units such as kilowatt‑hours and GPU‑hours, and BPI released the full dataset at moneyforai.org to inform policy and infrastructure planning.
