Bitcoin Price Increases by $15k after U.S. Treasury Announcement

Bitcoin (BTC) price rose by $15k after the US Treasury announced it would double down on its bond buyback, raising it to $4 billion in September, a positive liquidity signal for the market.

Trading at $77k on Sunday, the world’s largest digital asset jumped from the low $62,000s to near $80,000, triggering an estimated $3–$4 billion in short liquidations, including about $3 billion in a single 24-hour window.

The move was catalysed by the US Treasury doubling long-dated bond buybacks, lower yields, a weaker dollar, and strong inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs, all of which pushed traders into risk assets.

The squeeze fuel is largely spent, so sustainability now depends on real spot demand holding key support levels, with overbought momentum and profit-taking risk to watch closely.

During this breakout, derivative data providers reported more than four billion dollars in bearish crypto positions being liquidated, as shorts were automatically closed when margins failed, according to CoinGlass-based reporting

Within a single 24-hour window, traders who bet against Bitcoin lost about three billion dollars, with roughly 172,000 short accounts liquidated, the largest short-side wipeout since 2021 in that dataset.
