According to The Kobeissi Letter, US government spending has averaged approximately 9% of GDP over the past five years, surpassing Civil War levels and nearly matching the 2008 financial crisis peak (source: The Kobeissi Letter, June 3, 2025). This elevated spending persists despite a low unemployment rate of 4% and widespread expectations of a 'soft landing' in financial markets. For cryptocurrency traders, sustained high fiscal deficits may increase concerns about long-term US dollar stability and inflationary pressures, potentially driving increased demand for Bitcoin and other digital assets as alternative stores of value.
