Metaplanet CEO: AI Drives Capital Concentration, Bitcoin May Become Digital Capital Held by Machines

Odaily News Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich posted on platform X, stating that the gains from the productivity boom are flowing almost entirely to the owners of computation and capital, rather than to laborers or governments. He said, "Every company holding cash or bonds is demanding a system whose tax base is disappearing, and the system's response will be to print money. This trend is accelerating."

Simon Gerovich further emphasized that AI agents have no bank accounts and no brand loyalty. When machines optimize the financial system, they will bypass traditional banking systems and payment networks, opting to use digital assets for transactions. When value storage is needed, AI will not park funds in money market funds but will hold digital capital—especially Bitcoin. As the AI economy expands, digital assets may become the primary store of value in the machine era.
