Treasury's announcement 'exactly the type of thing' Bitcoin loves, Kendrick says
The Treasury announced on Aug. 19 that it will increase the maximum size of buyback operations targeting 10- to 20-year and 20- to 30-year nominal coupon securities from $2 billion to at least $4 billion per operation.
The larger buybacks will begin Sept. 9, with further guidance on future purchase sizes due at its next quarterly refunding on Nov. 4, the Treasury added.

As per Kendrick, the Treasury's latest announcement is "exactly the type of thing Bitcoin loves."
He underlined that the leading cryptocurrency has a historical tendency to benefit from government liquidity interventions and its fixed supply, which makes it resistant to monetary debasement.
The latest Treasury announcement led to Bitcoin rallying more than 5.5% over 24 hours to trade at $68,356 at the time of writing as per Decibel. The price move was in consensus with Kendrick's thesis.
