📉 “U.S. National Debt Tops $36.2T—Why It Matters for Market Positioning”

As of June 4, 2025, total U.S. national debt stands at $36.21 trillion, including $29 trillion held by the public and $7.4 trillion in intragovernmental accounts . That puts the debt-to-GDP ratio at roughly 123%, a level not seen since WWII .

Recent legislative moves—like the Senate version of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” adding over $3 trillion in new debt over the next decade—have pushed investor caution on U.S. Treasuries . The CBO warns the 10-year cost could hit $3.4 trillion, with political pressure to raise the debt ceiling before mid-July 2025 .

For traders/investors, this means:

🛡️ Bond yields may stay elevated

💸 Fiscal instability could boost safe-haven assets like gold or stablecoins

⚠️ Watch for volatility spikes near debt-ceiling deadlines

My approach: keep 1–2% cash or stablecoins, hedge with short-duration Treasuries, and monitor yield curve dynamics for tactical swings.#USNationalDebt
