Bitcoin Can Win Whether AI Boom Continues or Crashes: Bitwise CIO

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan argues that bitcoin could benefit across radically different AI-driven economic outcomes, from a productivity boom to a recessionary crash. His thesis rests on one idea: Whether the world gets more abundance, more money creation, or simply more adoption, scarcity still favors bitcoin. That is the argument from Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan, who says the cryptocurrency can emerge stronger across nearly every major economic path tied to artificial intelligence. Hougan’s framework is deliberately broad. AI could trigger extraordinary productivity growth, collapse into a debt-fueled bust, or simply deliver modest gains without reshaping the economy. In his view, each scenario still creates a plausible route to higher long-term bitcoin demand.
