The US national debt has surpassed $31.27 trillion, exceeding the entire US economy for the first time since World War II, quietly reinforcing the long-term narrative of Bitcoin as a non-sovereign store of value.
Why is the surpassing of US debt to GDP so significant now?
The debt-to-GDP ratio measures a country's total government debt compared to its annual economic output. When this ratio exceeds 100%, the government debt is greater than the annual economic output. The United States has exceeded this threshold, with federal debt reaching $31.27 trillion, surpassing its economic size.
This is the first time the ratio has exceeded 100% since the post-World War II era, according to financial data. This threshold does not signal an immediate crisis, but it indicates long-term pressure on the dollar's purchasing power and raises questions about how governments will handle increasing interest obligations.
