Stimulus checks funded by U.S. tariff revenue may serve as a short-term liquidity boost for cryptocurrency markets amid a potential government shutdown. Analysts indicate that proposed dividends of $1,000 to $2,000 per person could enhance retail buying power, potentially increasing demand for Bitcoin and other digital assets. U.S. Treasury data reveals $214 billion in tariff revenue collected this year, while traders on Polymarket estimate a 68% likelihood of an extended shutdown.
