Recently, I started analyzing how much money is truly in the world, and the numbers are quite revealing. Most people have no idea of the true magnitude of this.

Let's start with the basics: physical cash (bills and coins) in circulation amount to about $9 trillion. It sounds like a lot, but when you look at the full picture, it's almost nothing compared to the rest.

The interesting part comes when you look at money in bank accounts and deposits. We're talking about around $100 trillion in regular money and deposits, plus another $150 trillion in large deposits and investments. So, the total amount of money in the world in real terms is roughly $150 trillion when you add cash and non-cash assets.

What surprised me was the concentration: nearly $62 trillion of that $150 trillion belongs to the United States. China is far behind with $16 trillion, and Japan is third with $6.5 trillion. When you see these numbers, you quickly understand who controls the global stage.

Many forget that there are over 1 quintillion in financial assets (stocks, bonds, derivatives), but that’s no longer real money; these are valuations. It’s important to distinguish between circulating money and market valuations.

This is the answer for everyone who says there’s not enough money for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies to keep growing. When you analyze how much money is in the world, you realize there’s more than enough room for new assets to gain adoption. The money is there; the question is how it will be redistributed in the coming years.
