Wall Street Investors Troop into Bitcoin as Treasury Notes Yield Plunges

The long-term bullish prospects of Bitcoin (BTC) have just gotten a boost, following investors’ latest stance on the long-dated Treasury notes.

According to a recent Wall Street Journal report, investors expect the Federal Reserve to begin a long-term US bond-buying campaign, after its next policy meeting in December. This is as a result of the ever-growing COVID-19 numbers in the US, coupled with the US Congress’s second stimulus package political stalemate.

The US economy is in a tough spot following US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin’s decision to terminate some of the Fed’s emergency lending amenities, which aided small and medium-sized enterprises, and state and local governments.

This has left the central bank with little or no options to buy long-term US Treasury notes, which reduces the cost of borrowing for businesses and individuals. Meanwhile, the Fed doesn’t intend to stock up on short-term Treasury notes purchases because the yields on them are already close to zero.

That said, growth in the long-term Treasury notes diminished the yield returns, which means that investors will receive less money than they invested when their bond expires.

This reality has prompted investors to seek inflation-resistant assets like Bitcoin. With this, it can be understood why a yield below 1% on the US 10-year Treasury has coincided with the 400% price surge in Bitcoin.
