Better Buy: Bitcoin vs. Gold
Thus far, gold has vastly outperformed Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) in 2025. For the year, gold is up 30% and is now trading at all-time highs. Amidst all the tariff uncertainty, investors are searching out safe havens to preserve the value of their money, and gold is arguably the safest of all safe havens.
But don't sleep on Bitcoin. The "digital gold" narrative is making a comeback, and Bitcoin recently regained the $90,000 price level for the first time in weeks. So which is the better investment right now: Bitcoin or gold?
In September 2024, (NYSE: BLK) released a brief 10-page report: "Bitcoin: A Unique Diversifier." The report examined the unique diversification properties of Bitcoin as a scarce, decentralized, non-sovereign, global asset. Ultimately, BlackRock concluded that Bitcoin did not fit into the traditional framework of "risk on" and "risk off" assets.
