Bitcoin’s hard-money thesis weakens as 30-year Treasuries top 5% and a $25B auction priced at 5.046%; BTC slipped under 80k as ETFs saw roughly 14,000 BTC in weekly outflows.Abstract: This piece examines the tension between Bitcoin's hard-money narrative and rising macro yields, focusing on the recent 30-year Treasury auction and its implications for crypto markets. It notes that 30-year yields climbed above 5% despite a $25 billion auction clearing at 5.046%, and that Bitcoin faced price pressure and wallet outflows from US spot ETF investors. The analysis suggests institutional demand signals and duration risk are shaping Bitcoin's short-term dynamics even as the long-run thesis remains debated.
