Bitcoin prices briefly surpassed the $80,000 level in August, driven by short covering and renewed investor interest. [^2]

BlackRock's IBIT fund accounted for roughly 88% of the total $3.5 billion net inflow into US spot Bitcoin ETFs in August. [^3]

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced plans to expand long-term Treasury buybacks, which analysts say has revived 'debasement trade' demand. [^4]

Bitcoin climbed 26% in August, its strongest month since November 2025, and marked the first net positive August since 2021, briefly topping $81,000. [^5]

Dan Morehead argued that Bitcoin's 26% August rally was directly tied to the Treasury's bond buyback move, saying investors saw through the plan almost immediately. [^6]

Dan Morehead, founder of Pantera Capital, said on Bloomberg Crypto that the US Treasury's expanded bond buyback plan, announced by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on August 19, was a bluff that backfired because the increase to at least $4 billion per operation was tiny compared to the $2 trillion in bonds the Treasury must sell annually.
