Fed Balance Sheet vs BTC

Fed Balance Sheet vs BTC

When the Federal Reserve increases the size of the circle Fed Balance Sheet, it typically injects liquidity into the financial system, in an attempt to increase demand for assets and services. This may create a more attractive environment for Bitcoin investors who view Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation or as a store of value.

The Fed balance sheet is a statement of the assets and liabilities of the Federal Reserve, the U.S. central bank. It reflects the Fed’s monetary policy and its influence on the money supply and interest rates in the economy.

The Fed’s balance sheet is important because it is a tool used by officials to try and influence the economy via longer-term interest rates. When officials want to try to stimulate the economy, they buy more assets and expand their asset portfolio. When they want to try to restrict growth, they let assets roll off and shrink their balance sheet.
