Bitcoin’s ‘digital gold’ claim challenged as traders move into bonds and gold hits new highs

Quick Summary:

Throughout the volatility, Bitcoin (BTC) dropped 6%—relatively modest compared to its historical volatility, but this does not make it a reliable hedge just yet, although its growing role as a reserve asset suggests this could shift over time.

What’s more, some experts predict that holding BTC in corporate treasury will become a standard practice by the end of the decade. Elliot Chun, a partner at the crypto-focused M&A firm Architect Partners, said in a March 28 blog post:“I anticipate that by 2030, a quarter of the S&P 500 will have BTC somewhere on their balance sheets as a long-term asset.”The character of any asset is defined by the attitude of those who own it.
