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

Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich stated that the benefits of productivity are increasingly concentrated among capital owners. AI agents will bypass traditional financial systems and choose digital assets like Bitcoin as a store of value, predicting that this trend will accelerate. Odaily Planet Daily reports that Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich posted on the X platform that almost all the gains from productivity prosperity flow to the owners of computation and capital, rather than workers 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 do not have bank accounts or brand loyalty. When machines optimize financial systems, they will bypass traditional banking and payment networks, choosing to transact using digital assets. When storing value, 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.
