The Global Money Map: How Much Exists and Who Controls It?

🧏🏼‍♂️ Have you ever wondered how much money is really circulating in the world? The answer is fascinating and reveals why there is enough room for Bitcoin to continue growing. The most surprising part: the United States controls almost half of the global money 🤷🏽

💶 The global monetary pyramid

Physical cash (M0): Approximately 9 trillion $ in printed bills and coins

Money in the banking system: 1️⃣ M1 (Physical money + demand deposits): nearly 100 trillion $ 2️⃣ M2 (M1 + term deposits and funds ): approximately 150 trillion $

📊 Distribution by main countries

The concentration of global money presents a very clear picture of economic power:

  • 🇺🇸 United States: 62 trillion $ (41% of the global total)
  • 🇨🇳 China: 16 trillion $ (10.7% of the global total)
  • 🇯🇵 Japan: 6.5 trillion $ (4.3% of the world total)

🌍 The true financial dimension

Real conclusion: The total money in the world (cash + bank deposits) amounts to approximately 150 trillion $. But if we include all financial assets such as stocks, bonds, and derivatives, the figure exceeds one quintillion $ - although these are valuations, not real money.

According to 2023 data, the cash in global circulation was approximately 40 trillion $ - a small fraction of the total financial system.

These figures reveal who really controls the global economy and why it is essential to follow the movements of the major market players to understand where the financial future is headed and the growth potential for assets like Bitcoin.
