Treasury Bond Auction Set to Test Bitcoin's Price Resilience

The US Treasury is set to conduct a massive $125 billion bond auction from August 11 through August 13, which could have significant implications for Bitcoin's price. The auction will test whether softer bond demand and rising yields put pressure on the cryptocurrency.

The Treasury refunding plan starts with $58 billion of 3-year notes at 1 p.m. EDT on August 11, followed by $42 billion of 10-year notes at the same time on August 12, and concludes with $25 billion of 30-year bonds on August 13. All three settle on August 17.

The gross total is not a $125 billion liquidity drain, as about $96.3 billion will refinance privately held debt maturing August 15, leaving approximately $28.7 billion of new cash to raise from investors.
