$BTC in focus Thursday at around $80,200, a three-month high, after last week's Treasury Department bond buyback plan and renewed regulatory agitation from the Trump administration pushed the tape. Crypto stocks swung broadly higher early in the session.

Bitcoin held near $80,000 through Thursday morning. Two developments drove the setup: the Treasury Department's bond buyback plan from last week and renewed regulatory agitation from the Trump administration. The price was easing off the $80,200 print as the session progressed but remained near three-month highs.

IREN, the bitcoin miner and high-performance computing infrastructure provider, reports earnings after the close. That print is the next confirmable milestone on the calendar.
