Fred Krueger: Claims of $20 trillion investment in U.S. manufacturing challenged by official data
U.S. investment claims differ from data

Fred Krueger, investor & crypto entrepreneur at various NFT/AI projects, contrasts government investment claims with official statistics. Krueger highlights a statement that over $20 trillion in manufacturing and other investments are being made in the U.S., but points out that federal data shows new foreign direct investment was about $232 billion in 2025. He notes this implies a difference of around 100 times between the figures.

Krueger has weighed in on key U.S. economic moves in previous commentary. He recently discussed the U.S. Treasury's planned auctions of $39 billion in 10-year notes and $22 billion in 30-year bonds. Earlier, he signaled that BTC could fall to 40K in the short term before a potential rally in October.
