Bitcoin surged above $81,000, pushing its market cap to $1.62 trillion, driven by rumors that the U.S. Treasury will use a $950 billion fund to buy back bonds. This rally caused $282 million in short position liquidations, making up 62% of all crypto short liquidations in 24 hours. The Treasury's bond buyback plans also led to a drop in U.S. Treasury yields, sparking debate about market intervention risks. Prominent investor Stanley Druckenmiller criticized these interventions, warning they could undermine market trust and delay necessary fiscal reforms. Bitcoin's rise highlights its appeal as a hedge against currency debasement amid government debt concerns.
