SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci sparked a conversation on Thursday about Bitcoin’s (CRYPTO: BTC) potential worth if it becomes critical infrastructure for cybersecurity, specifically to counter AI-driven threats.
Bitcoin’s Real Worth
In an X post, Scaramucci highlighted gold’s $30 trillion valuation and asked, “What is Bitcoin, being a potential global requirement for cybersecurity to fend off AI, worth?”
Bitcoin’s market value sits at about $1.50 trillion right now, after hitting a high of $2.42 trillion back in October 2025.
Users’ Question: What Exactly Is The Link
The replies ranged from projections of massive market growth to questions about the exact technical linkage between Bitcoin and AI defense.
One user, Robert Freeborn, argued that Bitcoin’s potential cybersecurity role against AI has no direct correlation or “anchor” to gold’s $30 trillion market value.
Scaramucci’s Case For Bitcoin
Scaramucci has consistently called Bitcoin a key force in the world economy and tech revolution.
Earlier in February, he posited Bitcoin as a “neutral, non-sovereign, digitally native store of value” in a world of mounting geopolitical and economic instability.
He highlighted four key drivers making the Bitcoin bet “more reasonable with each passing year,” imcluding debt trajectory, AI disruption, money printing and geopolitical fragmentation.
Scaramucci has been a vocal Bitcoin advocate, urging investors to take advantage of the ongoing correction and accumulate more BTC. The former White House Communications Director revealed previously that 70% of his wealth is tied up in the leading cryptocurrency.
Price Action: At the time of writing, BTC was trading at $77,884, down 0.40% over the last 24 hours, according to Benzinga Pro data. Spot gold traded down 0.25% at $4,682 an ounce.
