In a report published today, Bernstein analysts praised Bitcoin’s performance, highlighting its ability to weather macroeconomic shocks more effectively than in previous crises. Despite a 26% drop amidst global market sell-offs, Bitcoin’s resilience stood out.
The analysts noted that in past periods of global stress—such as the COVID-19 market crash or sudden interest rate hikes—Bitcoin has faced declines of 50% to 70%. The relatively moderate drop seen in the recent turmoil signals growing demand from more stable, long-term investors, such as institutional capital, which has helped cushion Bitcoin’s price.
Bitcoin as a “Digital Gold” with High Liquidity
Bernstein emphasized that current price action suggests Bitcoin is being increasingly seen as a valuable part of diversified investment portfolios, with demand shifting towards more resilient capital. This trend points to Bitcoin’s evolution into a maturing asset class.
The analysts further compared Bitcoin to gold, describing it as a “higher volatility and more liquid version of gold.” While Bitcoin’s volatility remains high, it continues to position itself as a digital alternative to traditional safe-haven assets, though still with a higher risk profile.
Overall, Bernstein views Bitcoin as a probabilistic version of gold on a long-term scale, underlining its potential to be a key asset for investors despite short-term fluctuations.
