United States
80% of all US dollars in existence have been printed in the last 22 months.
Infact verdict: Mixed (50/100).
The claim that 80% of all US dollars in existence were printed in the last 22 months is based on data from January 2020 to October 2021, where the money supply increased significantly. However, this period is not the last 22 months from today, August 2026. The evidence from Tech Startups and Mises Institute supports the claim for that specific historical period, but it does not apply to the current timeframe. Therefore, the claim is misleading when applied to the present context.
