The Yield Wall: Hard money at the threshold. How 5% Treasury Yields Are Re-Anchoring Bitcoin’s Microstructure Bitcoin wanted to escape sovereign debt, but five-percent risk-free yields just captured its liquidity. As the 30-year Treasury yield climbs to 5.18% on May 20, 2026, the hard-money thesis faces an aggressive structural squeeze.
