PANews reported on February 23 that Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich stated in an article on the X platform that the benefits of a productivity boom are almost entirely flowing to the owners of computing 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 is to print money. This trend is accelerating."

Simon Gerovich further emphasizes that AI agents lack bank accounts and brand loyalty. When machines optimize the financial system, they bypass traditional banking systems and payment networks, opting instead to use digital assets for transactions. When value storage is needed, AI will not reside 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 age.
