AI-driven debt surge lifts Treasury yields, pressuring Bitcoin's appeal.

US tech companies have sharply increased bond borrowing to fund AI projects, pushing Treasury yields to multi-year highs. This rise in yields makes interest-bearing assets like bonds more attractive compared to Bitcoin, which has fallen 46.1% over the past year. The surge in tech debt, combined with high government borrowing, intensifies competition for capital, potentially limiting Bitcoin's appeal as investors favor safer, yield-producing investments. Future Treasury auctions will test if demand can keep pace with growing debt and AI financing needs.
