In 2025, Bitcoin Fell 6% And Gold Rose 65%—But Cathie Wood Says BTC Will Win In 2026
- Last year, Bitcoin fell 6% while gold surged 65%, and ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood said Bitcoin will win in 2026 because gold hit valuations only seen once in 125 years.
- Supply dynamics explain Bitcoin's supply code-locked growth of 1.3% annually, creating scarcity advantage while gold, as measured by NYSE:GLD, rallied 166% since October 2022 as gold miners increase output.
- In its financial models, ARK shows $1,200,000 per coin would imply a market capitalization of $25.2 trillion and would exceed Nvidia's $4.5 trillion value by about five times.
- Portfolio allocators gain diversification from Bitcoin because it moves independently of equities, bonds, and gold, offering portfolio protection despite a rough 2025.
- If Ark's scenario holds, institutional investors could allocate about 6.5% of their assets, or about $13 trillion, to Bitcoin, potentially capturing $19 trillion of gold reserves valued at about $32 trillion.

Bitcoin’s Fixed Supply Strengthens Its Case as Digital Gold, Cathie Wood Says
In a new 2026 outlook from ARK Invest, Wood argues that scarcity is not simply about limited availability, but about whether supply can respond to price — and on that front, Bitcoin stands apart. Key takeaways: Cathie Wood says Bitcoin’s fixed issuance schedule makes it structurally more scarce than gold. Gold supply can expand in response to higher prices, while Bitcoin supply cannot.
