Strategy stock (MSTR) rose more than 12% to $104.07 after reaching an intraday high of $106.50, as Bitcoin climbed about 6% back above $68,000 for the first time since June. Ethereum gained 8%, Solana rose 7% and XRP added 4%, according to CoinGecko data from August 19 at 23:39 IST. The rally followed the U.S. Treasury’s plan to increase long-term bond buybacks and raise the minimum size of each operation to $4 billion from September. Treasury yields fell, with the 30-year yield at about 5.2% and the 10-year yield moving toward 4.65%, while the dollar weakened around 0.8%.
