Bitcoin crosses $81,000 as Treasury eyes $950B bond buyback plan



Bitcoin surpassed $81,000 for the first time since May, with the move tied to macro developments rather than crypto-specific catalysts.

Two senior Treasury officials told CNBC that the Treasury General Account the federal government's roughly $1 trillion operating account at the Federal Reserve could be used to finance expanded bond buybacks aimed at stabilizing long-term government debt. The prospect of large-scale liquidity deployment and a weaker dollar has revived what analysts call the "debasement trade," historically associated with Bitcoin inflows.

Whale funds are being used to buy back bonds. It sounds like money moving from one pocket to the other, but the market is buying it—up first, questions later.

Before the bullish news materializes, it’s all just a story; after it does, it becomes an accident. I still feel this push toward $81,000 needs to be tested again.

Regardless of whether the cat is black or white, any macro backdrop that can push Bitcoin to new highs is good macro. Anyway, my position is already set.

Only 81,000? I figured if this really turns into a debasement trade, even 100,000 will seem too low later.

Wasn’t crypto supposed to have an independent market cycle? It still depends on the dollar’s direction—but that’s fine; just follow the trend.

The Treasury and the Fed are making their play far too obvious: suppressing long-term rates while injecting liquidity, with Bitcoin feasting on the windfall.

The essence of buying back U.S. Treasuries is printing money—the dollars in our wallets are becoming increasingly worthless, and I can’t feel at ease without buying some Bitcoin.

Finally, it’s not being driven by ETF inflows; this time, macro funds are repricing, which feels healthier than those previous surges.
