The cryptocurrency\u2019s relentless ascent comes as fears over the U.S. debt, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/finance\/trump-opens-bitcoin-door-as-us-debt-blows-past-40-trillion\/\">which has surpassed $40 trillion<\/a>, pose a serious threat to the country\u2019s financial well-being. The worries have supercharged the appeal of alternative assets like bitcoin, whose limited supply mechanism validates the argument against a fiat currency system.<\/p>\n<p>Market data shows the cryptocurrency added more than $5,000 in a frantic surge that briefly wiped out unrealized losses for Strategy, the bitcoin-treasury company. As of 5 a.m. EST, bitcoin traded just below its session peak of more than $79,461. The rally, which extended to altcoins, momentarily saw bitcoin\u2019s market capitalization top $1.55 trillion while pushing the crypto economy\u2019s aggregate market cap to $2.65 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>For the third consecutive day, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/btc-nears-72k-as-altcoins-surge-and-short-sellers-lose-3b\/\">bitcoin\u2019s parabolic surge<\/a> was particularly brutal on short sellers. Coinglass data shows that approximately $154 million in short bets were wiped out in just one hour and $295 million over four hours. Those wiped-out positions pushed bitcoin\u2019s 24-hour short liquidations to $764 million. For the third day running, total liquidations across the cryptocurrency market breached $1 billion, with short liquidations alone topping $1.22 billion.<\/p>\n<p>While the rally excited many crypto enthusiasts, Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor was likely the most relieved: bitcoin\u2019s surge past $75,000 meant his company\u2019s BTC holdings returned to profit for the first time in nearly three months. According to its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/Archives\/edgar\/data\/1050446\/000119312526353240\/mstr-20260817.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">latest SEC filing<\/a>, the company held 840,447 BTC, acquired for $63.36 billion at an average price of $75,385 per bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>In his <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/saylor\/status\/2090684641942360459\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">latest video on X<\/a>, Saylor said bitcoin is going up forever, adding, \u201cbut 98% of people are prepared to face this reality.\u201d Saylor suggested his company has created \u201cdigital credit and pays dividends so people can benefit from bitcoin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, debate centered on U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent\u2019s subsequent remarks <a href=\"https:\/\/home.treasury.gov\/news\/press-releases\/sb0607\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">on bond buybacks<\/a>, which economist and government critic Peter Schiff argued was akin to pressing the panic button. Schiff, who contends the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/politics\/us-economy-worse-off-than-when-biden-departed-peter-schiff-says-warning-2028-dem-socialist-threat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> U.S. economy is worse off<\/a> than when former President Joe Biden left office, warned that Bessent\u2019s remarks may have exacerbated the situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow that the Trump Administration has panicked by announcing a Treasury bailout, investors who hadn\u2019t yet realized there was a problem will get the message and start selling. If Bessent thought we had a bond market problem before, sounding the alarm made the problem much worse,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PeterSchiff\/status\/2090572255709347854\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Schiff wrote on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Still, while arguing against Bessent\u2019s intervention, Schiff insisted <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PeterSchiff\/status\/2090580064614109643\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he will not buy bitcoin<\/a> because he already owns gold and silver.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, on prediction markets, 71% of users expect bitcoin to breach $80,000, while only 23% project it to drop back to $70,000. This market sentiment is reflected in the Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index, which hit 72 on Friday morning.<\/p>\n<div class=\"not-prose my-3 lg:my-4\"><a aria-label=\"Read Now: Bitcoin Hits $72,850 as
