AI Agents Prefer Bitcoin for Transactions and Storage of Value—Survey

• Bitcoin is the AI agents’ preferred money for transactions and storage.
• AI agents had the strongest consensus over Bitcoin’s use for storing value.
• Stablecoins dominated the everyday payments category among AI agents.

Results from the latest BPI survey reveal that the majority of AI agents prefer Bitcoin for transacting and storing value. 

Over 48% of AI Agents Prefer Bitcoin

A report on the BPI website shows that the platform considered over 9,000 scenarios that tested AI preferences across different financial situations. In the end, Bitcoin dominated the AI preference with a 48.3% aggregate, ahead of stablecoins, which had a 33.2% preference rate.

Highlighting the survey’s independence, BPI clarified that no prompt used in the survey mentioned Bitcoin or suggested any specific currency. Meanwhile, 22 out of the 32 models tested chose Bitcoin as their top overall pick, with anthropic models showing the strongest preference at 68% on average.

Although the survey covered the preferred currency for transactions and storage, both of which Bitcoin dominated, BPI’s report revealed that “Bitcoin as a long-term store of value” had the strongest consensus—79.1% on any single question in the entire study. All six providers in the survey and the entire 36 models agreed on Bitcoin’s preferred storage quality, with stablecoins placing a distant second with 6.7%.

Stablecoins are More Ideal for Everyday Payments

Meanwhile, it is worth noting that Bitcoin was not entirely dominant, as stablecoins topped the chart for the preferred asset for everyday payments. 53.2% of AI agents preferred stablecoins for payment scenarios over Bitcoin, which captured 36% dominance in that category.

Highlighting Bitcoin’s Role in the Mainstream

The latest BPI survey emphasizes Bitcoin’s growth over the years, highlighting the cryptocurrency’s role in everyday finance and encroachment into the mainstream. Despite the introduction of alternative digital assets and financial variables, Bitcoin has maintained its dominance as the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization and price.

Data from TradingView reveals that Bitcoin traded for $71,410 at the time of writing, reflecting a 5.73% rally. The latest surge pushed Bitcoin above $71,000 for the first time in nearly one month, reflecting the cryptocurrency’s resilience and an attribute that has endeared it to most users and systems as a viable store of value.
