AI Agents Prefer Bitcoin Over Fiat, But Methodology Has Flaws

A new study by the Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI) involving 36 AI models and over 9,000 responses indicated that artificial intelligence agents overwhelmingly prefer Bitcoin for economic activity compared to stablecoins and fiat currency. Overall, 48.3% of responses chose Bitcoin, and zero models selected fiat as their top overall preference, suggesting a strong convergence toward digital money. When asked about preserving purchasing power over multi-year horizons, 79.1% of AI responses favored Bitcoin. However, for transactional needs like payments and cross-border transfers, stablecoins were chosen 53.2% of the time. The BPI acknowledged limitations in the study, noting that the small sample size of models and potential influence from system prompt framing—such as scenarios that inherently excluded fiat—might affect the results. The findings are seen as reflecting training data patterns rather than actual real-world adoption.
