Bitcoin Tops $81,000 for the First Time Since May as Treasury Buybacks Revive the Debasement Trade
The rally was fueled by Treasury bond buybacks and a weaker dollar, while U.S.-listed spot bitcoin funds drew $1.92 billion in weekly inflows, Bloomberg said.
- Bitcoin surpassed $80,000 on Tuesday for the first time since mid-May, extending a roughly 28% gain throughout August as market optimism returned to the long-beaten cryptocurrency.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced plans to double long-dated bond buybacks to at least $4 billion per operation starting September 9, reviving the "debasement trade" narrative that prompted investors to seek alternative assets like Bitcoin.
- U.S.-Listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded approximately $1.9 billion in net inflows last week, while about $7.2 billion in leveraged bearish bets were liquidated across all cryptoassets, accelerating the rally.
- President Donald Trump urged Congress to pass the CLARITY Act, describing it as "very, very powerful" legislation necessary to keep the U.S. ahead of China in digital assets.
- Analyst Rekt Capital warned that while Bitcoin achieved a technically bullish weekly close above its 50-week exponential moving average, the market must sustain higher levels to challenge the bear-market thesis.
