BlockBeats News, April 16, according to Cointelegraph, VanEck's Research Director proposed a new form of U.S. treasuries 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 new type of 10-year bond with a Bitcoin exposure. He stated that this innovative bond would consist of 90% traditional U.S. treasuries and 10% Bitcoin exposure, aiming to attract both the U.S. Treasury Department and global investors.
He added that even in the extreme scenario of Bitcoin going to "zero," BitBonds would still allow the U.S. to save costs when refinancing the approximately $14 trillion debt coming due in the next three years.
