Bitcoin’s [BTC] being hit from all sides, and the pressure has never been higher.

Japan’s bond market is set to impact BTC more than you’d think, and corporate treasury buying might just be the saviour.

Here’s what you need to know.

Is Japan’s bond stress a Bitcoin macro risk?

The country’s 10-year and 20-year government bond yields have climbed to 30-year highs. The 10-year yield rose by 137 basis points over the past year, and another 9.1 basis points in just four weeks!

This, on the back of a difficult time: Japan is mobilising over 370 trillion JPY in public and private investment by fiscal 2040. This could mean more bond issuance, while the Bank of Japan also reduced its JGB holdings.

There’s a supply-demand problem. More bonds may need buyers just as the biggest buyer steps away. If Japanese yields keep rising, capital funded through cheap yen borrowing could start coming back.

This matters for Bitcoin [BTC], because lower global liquidity hurts risk assets.

ETF outflows add pressure as corporate buyers step in

Bitcoin is already under pressure right now, with a massive fall from its $126,000 ATH. Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw more than $5 billion in net outflows through late June, so institutional demand has slowed in a higher-rate environment too.

However, corporate treasuries are still buying.

In fact, public companies have over 1.26 million BTC, implying that there’s some support while ETF investors pull back.

What’s left to be seen is whether corporate accumulation can offset ETF selling. This would be important if bond yields rise and risk appetite goes weak.

Bitcoin needs a clean break

At the time of writing, BTC appeared to be seeing some quick relief, with the monthly candle up around 9% and the price near $63,870. This, after months of pressure.

Even so, the recovery isn’t set in stone yet.

The immediate level to watch is the monthly high near $64,600. A big move above that will show buyers regaining their strength.

However, the pace remains mixed. The RSI was not strongly bullish, and MACD was also weak. Corporate demand may be offering support, but Bitcoin still needs ETF inflows and better (note, calmer) bond markets to turn this bounce into a recovery.

Final Summary

Japan’s 30-year-high bond yields might affect global liquidity and risk assets, including BTC.
Corporate treasuries holding over 1.26 million BTC may provide support, but ETF outflows will keep things fragile.

No Need to Worry About the Cooling Down of AI Data Center Construction? The US Import Boom Is Unlikely to Subside in the Short Term, Real Impact May Come in 2029

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.

Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?

The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
