Bitcoin has risen 21% since the US Treasury announced an expansion of its bond buyback program, according to Glassnode. The move underscores renewed interest in the token as a hedge against a weaker dollar.
On August 21, the on-chain analytics firm said Bitcoin was up 21% from the Treasury's buyback expansion announcement through now.
Glassnode attributed the gain to renewed market concern over a decline in the dollar's value. The view that expanded Treasury buybacks could inject liquidity and weaken the currency is influencing demand for Bitcoin.
Bitcoin's limited supply has long made it a candidate, alongside gold, for investors seeking protection against currency debasement. More recently, US fiscal policy and Treasury market-related measures have had a growing effect on the token's price.
