Bitcoin exceeds $81,000 as it rises almost 5%

Bitcoin has surpassed $80,000, a level not seen since May, following the US Treasury's announcement of a debt purchase plan. The cryptocurrency gained 4.89% to $80,943, despite a 7.6% decline so far in 2026 and a 29.6% drop from its October 2025 record of $126,000. The recent surge is attributed to the Treasury's plan to double its long-term bond buybacks, which has increased market liquidity and revived interest in bitcoin.

Historically, bitcoin has benefited from increased liquidity, and a potential decrease in US inflation could lead to a more accommodative monetary policy, further boosting the cryptocurrency.
