The traditional Bitcoin playbook — that expanding global M2 drives capital into risk assets with crypto capturing disproportionate share — has broken down. While March 2026 US M2 printed at $22.7 trillion (up 4.6% YoY), Bitcoin failed to hold $76,000 as the transmission mechanism shifted from Fed balance sheet expansion to Treasury issuance, reserve management, and cash balance dynamics.
