Vaneck Proposes Bitcoin-Linked Treasury Bonds To Offset $14 Trillion In Us Debt

VanEck’s head of digital assets research, Matthew Sigel, has proposed the introduction of “BitBonds,” a hybrid debt instrument combining US Treasuries with Bitcoin (BTC) exposure, as a novel strategy for managing the government’s looming $14 trillion refinancing requirement.The concept was presented at the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Summit and aims to address sovereign funding needs and investor demand for inflation protection.BitBonds would be structured as 10-year securities consisting of 90% traditional US Treasury exposure and 10% Bitcoin, with the BTC component funded by bond sale proceeds.At maturity, investors would receive the full value of the US Treasury portion, which would be $90 on a $100 bond, plus the value of the Bitcoin allocation.Additionally, investors would capture 100% of Bitcoin’s upside until their yield-to-maturity reaches 4.5%. Government and bondholders would split any gains beyond that threshold.This structure intends to align the interests of bond investors, who increasingly seek protection from dollar debasement and asset inflation, with the Treasury’s need to refinance at competitive rates.Sigel said the proposal was “an aligned solution for mismatched incentives.”Investor breakevenAccording to Sigel’s projections, the investor breakeven for BitBonds depends on the bond’s fixed coupon and Bitcoin’s compound annual growth rate (CAGR).For bonds with a 4% coupon, the breakeven BTC CAGR is 0%. However, for lower-yielding versions, breakeven thresholds are higher: 13.1% CAGR for 2% coupon bonds and 16.6% for 1% coupon bonds.If Bitcoin CAGR remains between 30% to 50%, modeled returns rise sharply across all coupon tiers, with investor gains reaching up to 282%.Sigel said BitBonds would be a “convex bet” for investors who believe in Bitcoin as the instrument would offer asymmetric upside while retaining a base layer of risk-free return. However, their structure means investors bear the full downside of Bitcoin exposure.Lower coupon bonds could produce steep negative returns in scenarios where BTC loses value. For example, a 1% coupon BitBond would lose 20% to 46%, depending on Bitcoin’s underperformance.Treasury benefitsFrom the US government’s perspective, the core benefit of BitBonds would be lower borrowing costs. Even if Bitcoin appreciates modestly or not at all, the Treasury will save on interest payments compared to traditional 4% fixed-rate bonds.According to Sigel’s analysis, the government’s breakeven interest rate is approximately 2.6%

Mantra Ceo Vows Token Burn To Regain Investor Trust After Om Collapse

Mantra CEO John Patrick Mullin has proposed burning his allocation of OM tokens in a move aimed at restoring investor confidence after the protocol’s native token suffered a sharp collapse.Mullin said his tokens, part of a broader 300 million OM allocation earmarked for the team, are subject to a cliff until April 2027.Token burnIn a public statement posted to X on April 15, Mullin pledged to destroy his share of that future allocation and stated that the community could decide whether he earns it back once the project recovers.He revealed that he currently holds roughly 772,000 OM tokens, less than 1% of the over 80 million OM tokens circulating supply as of April 15, per Tokenomist data. Mullin allocated his tokens on the liquid staking protocol Fluxtra.Despite his pledge and the revelation of his current holdings, Mullin did not reveal his OM token stake and said he would wait until the burn program was ready to share his portion of the token supply.The OM token, which powers the Mantra blockchain, lost over 90% of its value on April 13, plunging from around $6.30 to under $0.50 in a single day.The crash erased approximately $5.5 billion from its market capitalization, reducing it from roughly $6 billion to $530 million. Although OM has since rebounded to $0.81 with a market cap nearing $800 million, it remains well below prior levels.Mantra is a layer 1 blockchain built using the Cosmos SDK, which focuses on tokenizing real-world assets and integrating regulatory compliance into its protocol.The platform recently secured a Virtual Asset Service Provider license from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), positioning it for growth in regulated digital asset markets.Reckless liquidationsMullin attributed the collapse to abrupt liquidations by centralized exchanges during a low-liquidity trading window, which triggered rapid sell pressure. He denied that team members or investors sold tokens, emphasizing that all allocations remain locked under a public vesting schedule.Blockchain observers raised the possibility of insider activity or wallet compromises, citing suspicious fund movements.Over $70 million in OM was reportedly moved to exchanges through a single intermediary wallet before the collapse, prompting comparisons to the 2022 Terra ecosystem implosion.Mullin said the team is investigating and plans to publish details on centralized exchange involvement. He reiterated that Mantra’s tokenomics remain intact and verifiable through on-chain data
