What Happened
The International Monetary Fund warns global public debt could reach 100% of GDP by 2029. China and the U.S. drive higher debt amid increased defense spending. If growth lags debt issuance, governments may face solvency questions, potentially boosting demand for bitcoin as an alternative asset outside traditional finance systems.
