Introduction
In its June 2025 Bitcoin Monthly Report, global asset manager ARK Invest has revealed a striking milestone for Bitcoinâs scarcity narrative. The ratio of global M2 money supply to Bitcoin supply has reached its highest point in 12 years â highlighting how Bitcoinâs fixed supply continues to contrast with expanding global liquidity.
What Did ARK Invest Reveal?
According to ARK Investâs official report (source), each Bitcoin now represents about $5.7 million of global M2 money supply. This is the highest ratio seen since Bitcoinâs early years.
Key details from the report:
-
Record Ratio: The global M2 supply is growing, while Bitcoinâs issuance rate keeps dropping due to its halving cycle.
-
Future Outlook: ARK expects this ratio to keep climbing as Bitcoinâs supply growth shrinks further.
-
Scarcity Signal: With less new Bitcoin entering circulation, its role as a hedge against fiat currency dilution strengthens.
Why Does the M2 to Bitcoin Ratio Matter?
Many investors track the M2-to-Bitcoin ratio to understand Bitcoinâs relative scarcity against global liquidity:
-
M2 Supply: Represents cash, checking deposits, and easily convertible near-money â a core measure of global money supply.
-
Bitcoinâs Cap: Unlike fiat currencies, Bitcoinâs total supply is capped at 21 million coins, with the last Bitcoin expected to be mined around 2140.
-
Implication: Rising M2 + fixed Bitcoin = each Bitcoin theoretically absorbs more global liquidity over time.
As Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, has often stated, Bitcoin could act as a hedge against monetary debasement when central banks expand liquidity (source).
What Could This Mean for Investors?
Here are three takeaways for Bitcoin investors and analysts: Potential Store of Value: A higher M2 ratio supports the thesis that Bitcoinâs scarcity could protect wealth long-term.
Macro Hedge: Some view Bitcoin as an alternative to gold when fiat supply expands aggressively.
Caution Required: Volatility remains â investors should balance enthusiasm with prudent risk management.
