Bitcoin traded around $79,650 today, Thursday, August 27, 2026, per CoinGecko, ArzDigital and TradingEconomics. The world's largest cryptocurrency is having its best monthly performance in over a year, but it remains clearly below its October 2025 all-time record. The main driver has been the US Treasury's August 19 decision to roughly double its long-dated bond buybacks.
