Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan mentioned in a letter to clients that regardless of whether artificial intelligence (AI) drives a massive economic boom, triggers a recession due to a bubble burst, or maintains moderate growth, Bitcoin will benefit in the long term: If the AI bubble bursts, the economy could face a 2008-like recession due to defaults by data center borrowers and pressure on underwriters. However, given AI's geostrategic importance, the likelihood of government bailouts is nearly 100%, and Bitcoin, after an initial sell-off, would strongly rebound due to monetary expansion. If AI continues to thrive, leading to a surge in productivity and deflation in goods and services, the value of scarce hard assets like gold and Bitcoin will rise. In the baseline scenario of a soft landing with moderate economic growth, steady inflows into spot ETFs and institutional/sovereign asset allocations will also support Bitcoin demand.
