Bitcoin price expected to soar as global bond markets break — Here’s why
Bitcoin (BTC) has reached new highs amid a fragile global economy characterized by rising bond yields in the US and Japan, stalled growth, and low consumer confidence. The US debt crisis, with national debt exceeding $36.8 trillion and projected interest payments of $952 billion in 2025, is central to this shift. Rising Treasury yields, particularly the 30-year bond at 5.15%, indicate market expectations of stronger growth and persistent inflation. Japanese investors, holding $1.13 trillion in US Treasurys, face rising domestic interest rates, complicating their investment strategies. Despite rising bond yields typically dragging down risk assets, Bitcoin and stocks are climbing, suggesting a shift in investor behavior towards alternative assets. Institutional interest in Bitcoin is growing, with ETF inflows surpassing $104 billion, positioning Bitcoin as a politically neutral store of value. This dual role as both a high-yield asset and a safe haven may redefine its perception in the current economic landscape.
