Analysis

US Treasury escalated intervention on August 19 by doubling maximum buybacks of longer-dated debt from $2 billion to $4 billion per operation, running from September 9 through November 4, after total US public debt crossed $40 trillion.

The move came outside the normal quarterly refunding calendar and failed to hold yields lower for even two days, prompting further signals from Treasury Secretary Bessent that buybacks could exceed the new cap and that the Treasury General Account near $950 billion may fund purchases directly.

Direct use of cash reserves would inject liquidity into markets, a step historically supportive for Bitcoin and risk assets amid ongoing efforts to keep the 30 year treasury yield below 5%.
