Trump Repeats $5,000 Midterm Payout Promise as Polymarket Sees 7% Odds
- —The $5,000 payout would cover 240–250 million adults at a cost above $1.2 trillion
- —Polymarket puts a full Republican sweep at 7% versus 65% for Democrats
- —Cleveland Fed research found $1,200 stimulus checks lifted BTC price just 0.7%
- —Bitcoin trades near $85,000; payouts could push it toward $95,000–100,000
Why it matters: The promise remains campaign rhetoric for now, with prediction markets pricing a Republican sweep at only 7%, limiting any near-term BTC catalyst.
