The value of money is influenced by supply and demand just like everything else in an ecconomy.

Any sudden increase in the supply of money drives inflation. Its why stimulus checks from the government are generally a bad idea because most of it ends up being funneled quickly to big corporations when people "treat themselves to something nice" with the windfall.

If millions of people wbo receive reparations money are suddenly in the market for a new house and a new car and trying to buy a shop and equipment or tools to start a business what does that do to the price of land and the cost of entry to startup a new business?

The other option would be smaller payouts over a long period of time, this has less ecconomic impact but also means most of the money will be spent on general costs of living instead of on building that generational wealth with large purchases that have real value.
