Sept 1: Bond Yields Are Squeezing Bitcoin as Strategy Keeps Buying

Sept 1: Bond Yields Are Squeezing Bitcoin as Strategy Keeps Buying

Author: Matt Diemer September 1, 2026 Duration: 10:48

Bitcoin remains around $77,000 to $78,000 as rising global bond yields become the biggest macro story for crypto. U.S. Treasury yields are approaching 4.8%, energy prices remain elevated, and markets are increasingly pricing in another Fed rate hike as Kevin Warsh maintains his focus on inflation. ETF buyers did return Monday with approximately $216.7 million in inflows, but Matt argues Bitcoin still needs to defend the $75K to $77K range and finally establish $80K as support before declaring the bear market finished. 


Meanwhile, Strategy bought another roughly $370 million of Bitcoin, Strive added another $143 million, and ARK Invest increased its exposure to Jack Dorsey's Block. The episode also covers a $75 million Cronos DeFi exploit, George Santos reportedly being banned from Kalshi for trading a market involving himself, Robinhood Chain approaching $1 billion in daily DEX volume, the explosive Artificial Inu trade, and OpenSea bringing Solana NFTs back to its multichain marketplace.
