The current Bitcoin price is approximately $81,000, which has not only increased in dollar terms but has also outperformed gold, a hard asset with a history of hundreds of years.The simultaneous rise of both assets stems from market concerns that governments may dilute debt through currency devaluation. With the exception of Switzerland, all major developed economies have a debt-to-GDP ratio exceeding 100%, with the United States leading in terms of basic deficits. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Benset stated at the G20 finance ministers' meeting, "The world is awash in debt... The only way out of this predicament is growth."Bitcoin bull and SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci posted on X that Benset's remarks inadvertently promoted Bitcoin: "Benset stood in front of the G20 and said the world is awash in debt; that’s the entire selling point of Bitcoin. The 20 finance ministers just released the best Bitcoin advertisement of the year, even though they did not intend to." Bitcoin exists outside the traditional financial system and, unlike fiat currencies such as the dollar, yen, and euro, cannot be devalued by policy decisions.

In June and July this year, Bitcoin's volatility remained low, with prices dipping below $65,000 at one point. A turning point occurred in mid-August when the U.S. Treasury announced it would more than double the scale of government debt buybacks due to pressure in the fixed income market and yields reaching their highest levels in nearly 20 years.
