As of June 20, 2025, the U.S. federal debt has surpassed $37 trillion. Currently, there are no official comments from government leaders.
Current Federal Debt Figures
According to the [U.S. Debt Clock](https://www.usdebtclock.org), the federal debt has reached $37 trillion. Over the past year, the debt has increased by $1.56 trillion, with net interest payments projected to be $1 trillion for FY2025.
Market Reaction and Historical Trends
Currently, there have been no significant market movements following this announcement. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have not seen considerable attention from institutional and retail investors. However, historically, similar financial figures have sparked increasing interest in cryptocurrencies as inflation hedges.
Future Fiscal Policy and Cryptocurrencies
Analysts point out that certain milestones in the history of debt have previously generated interest in digital assets. Projections from the [CBO](https://www.cbo.gov/publication/60870) suggest that debt may grow to $38 trillion by 2026 without changes in fiscal policy. This could lead to increased interest in cryptocurrencies as potential inflation hedges.
Thus, the U.S. federal debt exceeding $37 trillion may influence investors' financial strategies, leading them to consider cryptocurrencies as safe assets.
