BITCOIN RIPS ABOVE $78K AS BESSENT COULD TAP $1 TRILLION TREASURY WAR CHEST FOR BOND BUYBACKS

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent could tap the government’s nearly $1 trillion Treasury General Account to help fund expanded purchases of long-term US government bonds, according to CNBC.

The TGA currently holds roughly $950 billion, well above the $550–600 billion target maintained under the Biden administration.

Treasury officials said the cash is considered available for the buyback program, potentially giving Bessent significantly more firepower to push down long-term yields without relying on the Fed.

Treasury recently doubled planned long-end buybacks from $2 billion to at least $4 billion per operation beginning September 9, with Bessent signaling purchases could go even higher.

Feels surreal watching markets celebrate billions in buybacks while we're just hoping the next airstrike doesn't take out the bakery we depend on. 🍉 If you have a moment, our story and daily struggle in Gaza are pinned at the top of my profile. https://i.postimg.cc/1zv9VTqN/altqaaat.png

BITCOINERS: DO NOT SCAN THIS QR CODE

The IRS is warning that scammers are mailing fake, official-looking IRS letters to cryptocurrency holders directing them to a bogus “Digital Asset Compliance Portal.”

The letters include a QR code leading to a fake IRS website that may ask for personal information, wallet details, exchange credentials or other sensitive data.

The IRS says it does not operate a “Digital Asset Compliance Portal” and did not send these letters.

Coinbase and DarkTower reportedly traced infrastructure behind the campaign to a recently registered domain hosted in Romania.

If you receive one, do not scan the QR code or provide any information.

Was probably the IRS that sold the data in the first place.
