Bitcoin jumps above $81,000 as liquidity buyback bets boost demand
Bitcoin rose to $81,160 and is up 23% over seven days, after Treasury liquidity-support buyback operations were set to at least double.
Bitcoin traded above $81,000 for the first time since January, reaching $81,160 before easing, according to Bitcoin Magazine. On Tuesday morning in New York, the coin was around $79,098, after moving to the upside the prior evening.
Over the prior 24 hours, Bitcoin was described as largely flat, but it has gained 23% over the past seven days. The magazine links the rally to news that the U.S. Treasury would at least double the size of its liquidity-support buyback operations, which it said weighed on the dollar and helped non-yielding assets.
Bitcoin Magazine also notes that the move is prompting renewed interest in a so-called debasement trade, where investors buy assets seen as hedges against currency value erosion. It cites the idea that assets like Bitcoin and precious metals cannot be endlessly printed, and says the strategy was widely discussed last year before interest shifted toward AI-linked equities.
The outlet further points to fund flows, saying U.S. investors added to Bitcoin exchange-traded funds last week, marking their best week since October with nearly $2 billion in inflows. It adds that Bitcoin previously set a record of $126,080 in October, before a major liquidation event, and that it later dipped in 2026 amid negative macroeconomic headwinds and expectations that the Federal Reserve might not cut rates.
