CoinDesk reported that Bessent’s $4 billion bond-buyback plan did not succeed in pushing U.S. Treasury yields lower, even though that was the apparent aim of the move. Instead, the market response highlighted in the report was a rise in bitcoin. The article frames the outcome as a shift away from the intended effect in the bond market and toward strength in crypto. It also says the development carries implications for both bitcoin and gold, focusing on how the failed attempt to curb yields may matter for those assets. The report does not present the buyback as having delivered the desired result in Treasuries, but rather as an episode that ended with higher attention on bitcoin’s move.
