US M2 money supply sits at approximately $21T+ in 2024-2026 after pandemic-era expansion. Bitcoin's market cap ($1T-$2.5T) is roughly 5-12% of US M2. The comparison is arguably the most important for long-run BTC thesis: if a small share of M2 reallocates to BTC as a fiat-debasement hedge, price targets rise materially. US M2 grows at ~4-8% annually on trend; BTC new-issuance grows at ~1.7% (post-2024 halving) and declining. The ratio (BTC / US M2) has trended from ~0.5% in 2017 to 5-12% today — a 10-20x expansion of monetary-premium share. For allocators, watch the ratio trajectory rather than absolute BTC price — it compresses over time almost mechanically as BTC issuance slows while fiat expands.
