The U.S. spent $7.40 trillion against $5.40 trillion in revenue for FY2026—burning $137 for every $100 collected. That's a $1.99 trillion deficit, or $5.46 billion a day, not counting debt refinancing.

Politicians won't cut spending or raise taxes enough to close it. The path of least resistance is easier money. That's the $BTC thesis in one sentence: Washington won't choose pain to protect your purchasing power.
