U.S. M2 Money Supply Rises 4.8% in February to Record $22.6 Trillion

The strongest evidence is the official Federal Reserve data. The FRED series “M2 (M2SL) - FRED - Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis” reports seasonally adjusted M2 at 22,667.3 billion dollars in February 2026, i.e. about $22.67 trillion, which supports the ‘record $22.6 trillion’ part. The FRED release table “Release Tables: Table 1: Money Stock Measures - FRED” shows Feb 2026 M2 of 22,667.3 versus Feb 2025 M2 of 21,613.2, implying roughly a 4.9% year-over-year increase; describing that as 4.8% is a reasonable rounding/truncation difference. The same release table also shows Jan 2026 at 22,469.1, so February was another monthly increase, and the official series indicates it was indeed a new high. The Federal Reserve Board page “Federal Reserve Board - Money Stock Measures - H.6 - March 24, 2026” is the primary release underlying those values. The claim that M2 stands about $700 billion above its March 2022 peak is also broadly consistent with the official February 2026 level, though the exact March 2022 comparison point is not directly quoted in the fetched pages here. Overall, the claim is well supported by primary-source data, with only minor rounding differences.
